20-F/A

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

RedCloud Holdings plc filed an amendment to its 2025 annual report to revise the section on controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2025, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective.

Management identified material weaknesses, including a lack of full-time accounting and financial reporting personnel with appropriate U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting expertise and an ineffective management review over year-end closing and reporting. The company is hiring additional qualified staff, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and planning training programs, and expects significant costs. It cautions that remediation may not be timely or sufficient, which could affect financial reporting reliability and investor confidence.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Material weaknesses in controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to limited qualified accounting staff and inadequate management review of year-end closing and reporting, which could affect financial reporting reliability and investor confidence.

Filing Explained

The amendment is confined to controls disclosure as of December 31, 2025, with no update for events after the original report.

RedCloud Holdings plc filed this amendment to its annual report, and it changes only Item 15, leaving the rest of the 2025 report unchanged.

Because the amendment does not update events after the original May 15, 2026 annual-report filing, it records a historical control status as of December 31, 2025, not a completed remediation status as of the July 21, 2026 amendment.

The annual report contains no registered public accountant’s attestation report because the company says it was not required to meet the Section 404 auditor-attestation requirements for fiscal 2025.

Ordinary shares outstanding 68,380,615 shares Number of ordinary shares as of July 20, 2026
Evaluation date for controls December 31, 2025 Date as of which disclosure controls and internal control effectiveness were assessed
Section 404 auditor attestation status Not required for 2025 Company is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer for the fiscal year 2025
disclosure controls and procedures regulatory
"evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures"
Policies, routines and internal checks a public company uses to identify, collect and verify information that must appear in its financial reports and public filings, and to make sure that material news is disclosed accurately and on time. Investors care because effective controls increase confidence that the company’s reported numbers and disclosures are reliable and reduce the risk of surprises, much like a building’s inspection and alarm system helps occupants trust the structure’s safety.
internal control over financial reporting financial
"Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting."
Internal control over financial reporting is a company’s system of procedures and checks designed to make sure its financial statements are accurate and complete, like a set of guardrails and verification steps that catch mistakes or fraud before numbers are published. Investors care because strong controls make reported results more trustworthy, lower the risk of surprise restatements or regulatory problems, and give greater confidence when valuing the company or comparing it to peers.
material weaknesses financial
"controls were ineffective at December 31, 2025 due to material weaknesses relating to (i) a lack of full-time accounting"
Material weaknesses are significant flaws in a company’s systems for ensuring its financial reports are accurate and reliable. Like a broken lock on a safe, they increase the chance that financial statements contain big errors or omissions, which can mislead investors about performance and risk; discovering one often raises questions about management oversight, may lead to restated results, and can affect investor confidence and a company’s valuation.
COSO framework financial
"used the framework set forth in the report Internal Control – Integrated framework issued in 2013 by the Committee"
accelerated filer regulatory
"because we are currently not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404"
An accelerated filer is a public company that meets regulatory size and reporting history thresholds and therefore must meet faster deadlines and stricter disclosure rules for periodic financial reports. For investors, that means financial statements arrive sooner and the company faces higher oversight and expectations for timely, accurate reporting—think of it as being placed in a faster highway lane that also has tighter traffic rules, which can reduce information lag and signal greater regulatory scrutiny.

What material weaknesses did RedCloud Holdings (RCT) identify in its 2025 controls?

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 20-F (the “Form 20-F/A”) amends our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2026. The purpose of this Form 20-F/A is to amend Item 15.

 

This Form 20-F/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Annual Report and does not modify or update the disclosure therein in any way except as described above. No other changes have been made to the Annual Report. The filing of this Form 20-F/A should not be understood to mean that any statements contained in the Annual Report, as amended by this Form 20-F/A, are true or complete as of any date subsequent to the original filing date of the Annual Report. Accordingly, this Form 20-F/A should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

 

 

 

 

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

 

  (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of December 31, 2025 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the foregoing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses identified below.

 

  (b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purpose in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report Internal Control – Integrated framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (1) the control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication and (5) monitoring.

 

Based on that evaluation, management concluded that these controls were ineffective at December 31, 2025 due to material weaknesses relating to (i) a lack of full-time accounting and financial reporting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements and (ii) a lack of an effective review by management for the year ended accounting close and reporting. As a result, our management has concluded that our internal control was not effective as of December 31, 2025.

 

During 2025, to remediate the identified material weaknesses and improve the internal control over financial reporting, we understood the Company has sought to implement and will continue to implement a number of measures to address the material weaknesses, including the following:

 

● We are continuing our efforts to hire additional qualified internal finance and accounting staff with working experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.

 

● We have also established clear roles and responsibilities for accounting and financial reporting staff to address accounting and financial reporting issues.

 

● We intend to establish a training program to provide sufficient and appropriate training for financial reporting and accounting personnel, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.

 

We expect that we will incur significant costs in the implementation of such measures. However, we cannot assure you that all these measures will be sufficient to remediate our material weakness in time, or at all. If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls to remediate our material weakness over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.

 

  (c) Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm because we are currently not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 because we are neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer.

 

  (d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
