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

 

On March 31, 2017, the management of VII Peaks Co-Optivist Income BDC II Inc. (the “Company”), in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that certain of the Company’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 included in the Company’s Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon due to the accounting error described below. The financial statements affected for these periods are the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Statements of Cash Flows and Schedule of Investments.

 

The Company is restating these financial statements to correct errors in the accounting for certain warrants received in connection with direct loans that the Company made. Specifically, the Company did not assign a cost to the warrants based upon their fair value on the date of receipt relative to the total fair value of the debt and warrants received. The difference between the face amount of the debt and its recorded cost resulting from the assignment of value to the warrants is to be treated as original issue discount, and accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to what was previously reported, the Company’s restated net investment income increased by $85,000 and its unrealized capital gains decreased by the same amount. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to what was previously reported, the Company’s restated net investment income increased by $175,000 and its unrealized capital gains decreased by the same amount. There was no effect on the Company’s net asset value per share (NAV) for those periods. The Company intends to file amended Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters affected.

 

On April 4, 2017, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors met and determined that it concurred with management’s conclusion that the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 should no longer be relied upon.

 

The Company’s management and its Audit Committee discussed the issues disclosed in this filing with its independent registered public accounting firm.
