Insights

Auditor change comes alongside a disclosed going-concern warning in prior reports.

Terra Innovatum Global N.V. replaced MaloneBailey, LLP with KPMG Accountants N.V. as its independent auditor effective January 15, 2026. Management notes that MaloneBailey’s earlier report on the April 29, 2025 financial statements was clean in terms of opinion, scope, and principles, aside from an explanatory paragraph about going concern.

The going-concern language signals that the prior auditor saw substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue operating without significant changes or additional support. The company emphasizes there were no disagreements or reportable events with MaloneBailey and that it did not previously consult KPMG on accounting issues before the appointment.

Auditor transitions can affect investor perceptions, but here the filing frames the change as orderly, with authorization for MaloneBailey to respond fully to KPMG’s inquiries and a confirming letter from MaloneBailey included as an exhibit.

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On January 15, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Terra Innovatum Global N.V. (the “Company”) dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. MaloneBailey had served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since April 29, 2025. MaloneBailey had served as the independent auditor for Terra Innovatum S.R.L, an Italian limited liability company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, since 2025. MaloneBailey had served as the independent auditor for Xit Corp. (formerly GSR III Acquisition Corp.), a Cayman Islands exempted company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, since 2024.

 

MaloneBailey’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements as of April 29, 2025 and for the period beginning April 29, 2025 (inception) and ended April 29, 2025 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the period beginning April 29, 2025 (inception) and ended April 29, 2025 and the subsequent interim period through January 15, 2026: (1) there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods and (2) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company provided MaloneBailey with a copy of this report prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that MaloneBailey furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether MaloneBailey agrees with the statements made by the Company in this report and, if not, stating the respects, if any, in which MaloneBailey does not agree with such statements. A copy of the letter from MaloneBailey is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

 

(b) Engagement of new Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On January 15, 2026, the Audit Committee appointed KPMG Accountants N.V. (“KPMG”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company has authorized MaloneBailey to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through January 15, 2026, the Company did not consult with KPMG with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
