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

 

On July 16, 2014, in connection with previous comments and responses between them, NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a correspondence from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), requesting that (i) the Company restate certain of its financial statements by filing amendments to the reports containing such financials, and (ii) the Company file a Current Report on Form 8-K to report non-reliance on such financials. As such, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “8-K”) to report that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such period (the “Form 10-K”), as well as the financial statements issued in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”), should no longer be relied upon (all of such financial statements are collectively referred to herein as the “Financial Statements”). The Company’s management has discussed with the Company’s independent auditor the matters disclosed in this 8-K.

 

In its correspondence, the SEC asserted that certain modifications in the Company’s valuation methodology, deemed as accounting estimates by the Company, contained errors with respect to the valuation of convertible debentures issued by the Company, in that such methodology did not capture the debentures’ potentially dilutive effect upon their conversion into common stock. The operational performance of the Company will remain unchanged.

 

The Company intends to file an amended Form 10-K and an amended Form 10-Q that will contain restated Financial Statements revised pursuant to the SEC’s comments.
