Subsequent to the establishment of the deferred tax liability as of the opening balance sheet, the Company should have reversed a portion of its (i.e. the acquiror) pre-existing valuation allowance and taken the income tax benefit through the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. &#160;The impact of these adjustments is to increase the amount of goodwill and deferred tax liability recorded on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet by approximately $4.9 million and to reduce our valuation allowance recorded on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet and increase income tax benefit in the statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2021 by approximately $4.9 million. &#160;Each of these adjustments is a non-cash item.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;">The Company intends to restate its historical financial results as soon as possible for the affected periods in an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021 as filed with the Commission on August 13, 2021.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;"><span style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</span></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;">The Company&#8217;s management has concluded that in light of the error described above, a material weakness existed in the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for taxes relating to acquisitions that qualify as a stock acquisition for tax purposes and that the Company&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective &#160;as of June 30, 2021. The Company&#8217;s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness includes engaging with highly qualified tax advisors and will be described in more detail in the amendment to the third

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
​
On December 16, 2021, Inotiv, Inc. issued a press release announcing financial results for the three and twelve months of fiscal 2021 ended September 30, 2021. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
​
Item 4.02 Non-reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
​
On December 15, 2021, the Company's management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded that, due to a failure to properly account for certain tax attributes related to an acquisition that occurred in the Company's third fiscal quarter, the Company's previously issued unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 13, 2021 should no longer be relied upon.  Specifically, management and the Audit Committee concluded that, in accordance with ASC 805-740, the Company should have established a deferred tax liability with an offset to goodwill in connection with the accounting for the opening balance sheet of the Bolder BioPATH acquisition as a result of book-to-tax differences primarily related to the customer relationship intangible and property and equipment identified in the Company's June 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements. Subsequent to the establishment of the deferred tax liability as of the opening balance sheet, the Company should have reversed a portion of its (i.e. the acquiror) pre-existing valuation allowance and taken the income tax benefit through the statement of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.  The impact of these adjustments is to increase the amount of goodwill and deferred tax liability recorded on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet by approximately $4.9 million and to reduce our valuation allowance recorded on the June 30, 2021 balance sheet and increase income tax benefit in the statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2021 by approximately $4.9 million.  Each of these adjustments is a non-cash item.
​
The Company intends to restate its historical financial results as soon as possible for the affected periods in an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021 as filed with the Commission on August 13, 2021.
​
The Company's management has concluded that in light of the error described above, a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for taxes relating to acquisitions that qualify as a stock acquisition for tax purposes and that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective  as of June 30, 2021. The Company's remediation plan with respect to such material weakness includes engaging with highly qualified tax advisors and will be described in more detail in the amendment to the third quarter Form 10-Q.
​
The Company's Audit Committee discussed the matters described in this Item 4.02 with RSM US LLP, the Company's independent registered accounting firm.
