Item4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.


On October 30, 2020, the Board of Directors of Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) and executive management determined, in consultation with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, Haynie & Company (“Haynie”), that the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2020 (the “Original Filing”) could no longer be relied upon. Specifically, during the course of the financial statements closing process subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Management”) discovered that a prepayment for inventory received after June 30, 2020 was incorrectly recorded in the Original Filing as cost of revenue instead of as a prepaid expense during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, resulting in prepaid expenses being understated by $2,369,369 and cost of revenue being overstated by $2,369,369. The impact of correcting this error will increase the Company’s prepaid expenses and net income by $2,369,369, decrease cost of revenue by $2,369,369 and increase basic and diluted net income per common share by $0.08 as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company plans to file Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 with SEC (the “AmendedReport”) as soon as practicable and prior to the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020. The following sections in the Original Filing are expected to be revised in the Amended Report, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:

Part<br> I – Item 1. Financial Information
Part<br> I – Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Part<br> I – Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Part<br> II – Item 6. Exhibits and Signatures

The Company has provided Haynie with a copy of the disclosures contained in this Form 8-K and has requested that Haynie furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Hayne agrees with the statements contained herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Haynie’s letter concurring with the statements contained herein is attached as Exhibit 7.1 to this Form 8-K.

On November 2, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the information discussed in Item 4.02 of this Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
