Science Strategic Acquisition Alpha : Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement and Related Audit Report (Form 8-K)

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement and Related Audit Report.

On April 12, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') released a public statement (the 'Public Statement') on accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies ('SPACs'). The SEC's Public Statement discussed 'certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions' that 'may be common across many entities.' The Public Statement indicated that when one or more of such features is included in a warrant, the warrant 'should be classified as a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.'

On May 27, 2021, Science Strategic Acquisition Corp. Alpha (the 'Company', we', 'our' or 'us') determined that the Company incorrectly classified the public warrants and private placement warrants issued in connection with the Company's initial public offering (the 'Warrants') as equity instruments in the previously issued audited balance sheet as of January 28, 2021 included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 4, 2021 (the 'Original Financial Statement'). As a result, the Warrants should be recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations.

The Company's accounting for the Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company's previously reported investments held in trust, operating expenses, cash flows or cash.

As a result, on May 27, 2021, after discussion with Marcum LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Company's management and the audit committee of the company's board of directors (the 'Audit Committee') concluded that the Original Financial Statement should no longer be relied upon and is to be restated in order to correct the classification error as well as the fair value re-measurements and align with the SEC's Public Statement. Accordingly, the Company has disclosed the impact of such restatement on its Original Financial Statement in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which the Company has filed with the SEC alongside this Current Report on Form 8-K, and will continue to do so in its future financial statements.

The Company's management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP.
