Item 4.02Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On September 28, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of GHST World, Inc. (the "Company"), based on information provided by management of the Company and the Company's accounting consultant, concluded that the Company's previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 ("FY 2022") included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K") should no longer be relied upon following the re-audit of those financial statements by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Salberg & Company, P.A. ("Salberg") resulting in certain material adjustments to such financial statements and a restatement of such financial statements to reflect the adjustments. The Company's former auditor which conducted the prior audit of FY 2022, Ciro E. Adams, CPA, LLC, had its registration revoked by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") following the filing of the 2022 Form 10-K.

The changes will have no effect on the Company's results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

The restatement relates to the following corrections of errors contained in the previous financial statements for FY 2022: (i) the inclusion of a new non-cash expense arising from the issuance of approximately 118,663,761 shares of common stock during FY 2022 in satisfaction of indebtedness at an average price per share of $0.00185, below the fair market value of the shares, (ii) a non-cash impairment related to the Company's 119 art paintings, (iii) a non-cash write-off of patent costs, and (iv) a write-off of a related party receivable. As a result of these corrections, the Company's net loss for FY 2022 increased from $151,885 as was reflected in the 2022 10-K to approximately $3,987,000.

The re-audited financials for FY 2022 will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, which the Company expects to file within the 15 day extension period afforded under Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or by October 13, 2023.

The Company's management and accounting consultant communicated with representatives of Salberg regarding the matters described in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
