Item 4.02     Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
On August 7, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) and management of Fund.com Inc. (the “Company”) determined, after consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, that a restatement of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 which was filed on Form 10-K on May 7, 2009 (the “2008 Annual Report”) is necessary to properly reflect a description of an asset, the combination of two classes of common stock into one for the purposes of calculating earnings per share, and the addition of inception to date columns in both the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company and the Audit Committee determined that it should take this action to prevent future reliance on previously issued financial statements set forth in the 2008 Annual Report. Such financial statements should no longer be relied upon.
 
Specifically, the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 included an item under assets, “Minority Interest”, which has been revised to “Advances on behalf of minority shareholder” to more properly reflect the item.  No changes to the financial information were made.

In addition, the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period September 20, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007 was revised in two areas.  The first was to include a column for September 20, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2008 which had been omitted in the original filing.  Second, the Class A and B common shares were combined into one category as the rights of the classes are identical.   With respect to the revisions made in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the column for September 20, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2008 was added which had been omitted in the original filing.

As indicated above, the Audit Committee and management has discussed this matter with its independent registered public accounting firm, and the Company worked with its independent registered public accounting firm to include the restated financial statements as at December 31, 2008 and for the fiscal year then ended, in Amendment No. 1 to the 2008 Annual Report which was filed on August 7, 2009 (“Amendment No. 1 to the 2008 Annual Report”).

On November 30, 2009, the Company provided Jewett, Schwartz, Wolfe & Associates with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 4.02 on this Form 8-K, and has requested that Jewett, Schwartz, Wolfe & Associates furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements as promptly as possible. Such letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
