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

 

On March 29, 2016, management of Spotlight Innovation Inc. (the "Company"), with the approval of the Board of Directors concluded that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014, March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 15, 2015 and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the "Prior Periods") should no longer be relied upon because of an error in recording the value of intellectual property assets acquired in a transaction between the Company and Celtic Biotech Ltd., an Irish Limited Company, that closed on June 4, 2014 (the "Transaction"). In the financial statements included in the Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K for the Prior Periods, the Company recorded intellectual property assets of $6,977,347 related to the Transaction. A subsequent valuation report dated March 29, 2016 indicated that the value that should have been recorded during the Prior Periods under generally accepted accounting principles should have been $415,579. As a result, the Company expects to record an adjustment to reduce the value of the relevant assets on the balance sheet included in the Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K for the Prior Periods.

 

Management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. WithumSmith+Brown, PC is currently evaluating this information.
