Non Reliance of Financial Report Form 8 K

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

During the preparation of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, management of ShoulderUp Technology Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") identified errors in the recorded amount of the non-redemption agreements derivative liability, which was incorrectly calculated due to using an incorrect amount of the shares of the Class B Common Stock held by ShoulderUp Technology Sponsor LLC to be issued in connection with non-redemption agreements entered into by the Company on May 17, 2024. The error in the calculation of the non-redemption agreements' derivative liability resulted in an overstatement of "Non-redemption agreement derivative liability" and "Total Liabilities" line items in the Balance Sheet, an overstatement of the "Change in fair value of derivative liability", "net (loss) income before income taxes" and "Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share, redeemable Class A common stock" and understatement on the "Total other income, net" and Net (loss) income line items in the Statements of Operations, an overstatement of the "Fair value of non-redemption agreements liability at issuance", "Net loss" line items and understatement of the "Balance" in the Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Deficit, and an overstatement in the "Net (loss) income", "Change in fair value of derivative liability" and "Initial classification of shareholder non-redemption agreements derivative liability" line items in the Statements of Cash Flows (collectively, the "affected line items").

On November 25, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Audit Committee, after discussions with management, concluded that affected line items were a material error in the Company's previously issued unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2024 (the "June 30 Interim Financial Statements"). The Board of Directors of Company, including the Audit Committee, along with the Company's management has discussed with Withum Smith+Brown, PC ("Withum"), its independent registered public accounting firm, the matters described herein.

As a result of the foregoing, on November 25, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Audit Committee, determined that the June 30 Interim Financial Statements, as well as any reports, or similar communications of the June 30 Interim Financial Statements, should no longer be relied upon.

The Company intends to file an amendment to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2024, to correct the affected line items as soon as practicable.
