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

 

On October 9, 2020, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Odyssey Group International, Inc. (the “Company”) and management, in consultation with the Board, the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, and the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, Piercy Bowler Taylor and Kern (“PBTK”), has concluded that the following previously filed financial statements of the Company should not be relied upon:

 

  (i)

the audited financial statements for the fiscal year-ended July 31, 2019 and PBTK’s report thereon;

  (ii) the unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for each of the interim periods ended October 31, 2019, January 31, 2019, and April 30, 2020 (the “Affected Reports”).

 

Similarly, any press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial performance for the above-referenced periods should no longer be relied upon.

 

The non-reliance conclusion with respect to fiscal year end 2019 and interim 2020 financial statements included in the Affected Reports resulted from the determination that the research and developments costs capitalized in the intangible assets should be recognized as research and development expenses to be in compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 730 Research and Development (ASC 730-10-25-2(c)). Pursuant to ASC 730-10-25-2(c), intangibles purchased from others for use in particular research and development projects and that have no alternative future use, in research and development or otherwise, represent costs of research and development as acquired, and therefore are expensed when incurred. In the Affected Reports, the Company recorded such development cost as intangible assets. The adjustments required to correct the foregoing treatment of such costs will result in a non-cash increase in research & development expense and a decrease of net intangible assets for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019. For the nine months ended April 30, 2020, general and administrative expense will be reduced due to a reduction in amortization expense related to the intangible assets. Also, in preparation of its year end accounting, management discovered that restricted stock expense as previously reported for the three months ended April 30, 2020 was overstated.

 

The Company will, as soon as is practicable, make the appropriate adjustments to the above referenced Affected Reports by filing with the SEC amendments to the Reports which, in each case, will include restated financial statements and notes thereto and any other appropriate revisions. Determination of the impact of the errors described above are subject to continued analysis by management and our auditors and could change based on further review and analysis of the Affected Periods. The Company, when restating the previously filed financial statements, may also correct other previously identified errors determined to be immaterial.
