Item 4.02             Non-Reliance on Previous Financials, Audits or Interim Review

(a)            On September 4, 2015, Cosi Inc. (the “Company”) filed Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2015, previously filed on August 13, 2015 (the “Amended Form 10-Q”).  The Amended Form 10-Q was filed to correct an inadvertent error in the financial statements that was identified by management following filing of the Form 10-Q on August 13, 2015, during the course of a review of the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding.

In the original filing, the Company incorrectly stated the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three-months ended June 29, 2015, at 22,863,216 rather than the correct number of 45,726,432.  As a result, the Loss per Share improved from $(0.17) to $(0.08).  Accordingly, the following items in the original filing have been amended:

Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited);
Part 1, Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Note 10 – Net Loss Per Share; and
Part 1, Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company has calculated and recognized adjustments accordingly. The following table shows the effect of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements for the applicable period:

On September 3, 2015, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the financial statements and other financial data at and for the three and six months ended June 29, 2015 (collectively, the "Non-Reliance Periods"), as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 13, 2015, should not be relied upon because of the error described above which has been corrected in the Amended Filing.  Additionally, investors, analysts and other persons should not rely upon any press releases, investor presentations or other communications that relate to that information.
 
The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
