SPAC looking to take Trump's media firm public delays earnings report

Details: In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Tuesday, DWAC said it was unable to file its second-quarter earnings report "because additional time is needed to prepare the financial statements."

• DWAC noted it would file its earnings report within the five-day grace period allotted by the SEC.
• Asked in the filing whether the company anticipates "any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements" that would be included in the report, DWAC checked a box that read "Yes."
• The company said it lost roughly $4.7 million last quarter and around $6.5 million total for the first half of the year, but that those figures are still being reviewed by its accounting firm and could be subject to change with the official earnings report.

The big picture: DWAC has been riddled with issues for months.

• The SPAC is under investigation by the SEC for possibly negotiating their deal prior to DWAC going public, which is illegal if true.
• An investor sued the SPAC's CEO last year claiming fraud.
• There's been confusion regarding whether or not certain members of the board are still on the board.
• Last week DWAC asked shareholders to approve an extension of its merger agreement by a year.
