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

Genta Incorporated, (the “Company”) has determined that for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s financial statements included in Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2012 will need to be restated for the item described below and therefore should not be relied upon. The Company will file an amended 10-Q for such period as soon as practicable.

On July 24, 2012, during their review of interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm informed the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer of a potential misstatement in the Company’s financial statements for the three-month period ending March 31, 2012. After consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer and its Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s unaudited financial statements filed for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 contained a material misstatement pertaining to the Company’s calculation of a warrant liability and a resulting non-cash charge to its statement of operations.

The following table represents the effects of the restated statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

Accumulated deficit
  $ (1,261,912 )   $ (1,277,810 )
Total stockholders’ deficit
  $ (30,171 )   $ (46,069 )

As previously disclosed, the Company’s financial statements have raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and as a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 with respect to this uncertainty. The Company has actively sought additional financing and a strategic partner; however, to date those efforts have been unsuccessful.  If the Company cannot secure financing or a strategic partner, the Company may file for reorganization under bankruptcy.
