Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On November 4, 2024, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of OneMedNet Corporation (the "Company") resolved that the Company's previously issued financial statements (the "Prior Financial Statements") contained within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, originally filed on April 9, 2024, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the Prior Financial Statements. Therefore, a restatement of the Prior Financial Statements is required. Accordingly, the Company restated the aforementioned financial statements by filing an Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 on November 5, 2024 (the "Amended Report"). The Audit Committee discussed these matters with the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm, WithumSmith+Brown, PC ("Withum").
Restatement Background
As previously reported, on May 6, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC ("BF Borgers") as its independent registered public accounting firm following the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") announcement on May 3, 2024 that it had settled charges against BF Borgers that it failed to conduct audits of a number of public companies in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. As part of the settlement, Borgers agreed to a permanent ban on appearing or practicing before the SEC (the "Order").
On June 3, 2024, the Company retained Withum as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit and review the Company's financial statements, including the reaudit of the Company's 2023 and 2022 financial statements due to the Order.
In the course of the 2023 and 2022 reaudits, procedures were applied that led to the Company to believe sufficient audit procedures were not performed by BF Borgers when auditing the 2023 and 2022 financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Company management applied accounting procedures to examine the historical accounting for its convertible notes, warrants, stock-based compensation expense, and the de-SPAC transaction including associated liabilities and recapitalization and identified errors in the accounting for each of these items. In connection with these procedures and analysis, the Company recorded adjustments for these items in its financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022. As a result, on November 4, 2024, the Audit Committee determined that the Prior Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon.
