Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
As previously disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed August 19, 2026, during its review of inventory accounting in connection with the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Solésence, Inc. (the “Company”) identified errors in its historical accounting for labor and overhead included in inventories. The historical process allocated certain labor and overhead between raw materials, work in process and finished goods using budget-based percentages and allocation bases that were not sufficiently supported. The process also did not consistently limit capitalized costs to eligible acquisition and production costs, allocate variable overhead based on actual activity, allocate fixed overhead based on normal capacity, or adjust standard or budgeted amounts so that they approximated actual cost. The Company concluded that the historical process did not comply with the inventory-costing requirements in ASC 330, Inventory.
As a result, inventories were overstated and cost of revenue were misstated. The errors also affected gross profit, operating income (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, accumulated deficit, total stockholders’ equity and related disclosures in the periods affected. The Company determined the correction from its accounting records, including general-ledger and inventory detail, cost-pool and burden-rate schedules, inventory roll-forwards and the Company’s internal inventory-cost model.
After considering the requirements of ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and the quantitative and qualitative factors in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1.M and Topic 1.N, on August 17, 2026, the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Executive Officers of the Company concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. The Company expects to file amendments, as applicable and necessary, to its Annual Reports on Form 10-K which will impact the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 & 2025 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2026 in the coming weeks.
The Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent accountant the matters disclosed herein.
