ITEM 4.02         NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REPORT

On January 9, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Gold Torrent, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Company’s management, determined that the unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017 (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”), previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a Form 10-Q, should no longer be relied upon.

The Board, who also performs the functions of an audit committee for the Company, has determined that the Quarterly Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon because after consultations with the Company’s management the Board determined that the costs associated with the development of the Company’s mining property in the Willow Creek mining district in the Matanuska-Susitna region of Alaska incurred during the periods covered by the Quarterly Financial Statements should have been reflected in the Quarterly Financial Statements as expenses as opposed to capitalized costs. Consequently, the Board has determined that these Quarterly Financial Statements will need to be restated to reflect this revised position. The Company currently expects its total expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 to increase from $654,330, as reported in the Quarterly Financial Statements to $2,552,403 and from $3,005,992 as reported in the Quarterly Financial Statements for the six month period ended September 30, 2017 to $5,218,799 as a result of this change in position. The Company expects this change to increase its net loss, net loss attributable to non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to the stockholders of the Company, and net loss per share over the applicable periods in its Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations, and to result in corresponding changes to the Company’s Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets and Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows contained in the Quarterly Financial Statements.

The Company intends to restate the Quarterly Financial Statements to reflect these changes and plans to file such restated Quarterly Financial Statements on an amended Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as practicable. Additionally, the restated Quarterly Financial Statements will be included with the proxy statement/prospectus forming part of Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Gold Torrent (Canada) Inc. (“Gold Torrent Canada”) in connection with the planned merger of the Company and Gold Torrent Canada (the “Redomicile Transaction”).

The Company’s management and the Board have discussed the matters disclosed under this Item 4.02 with Morgan & Company LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
