Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
As previously reported, on August 9, 2022, the management and the audit committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Veritone, Inc. (the "Company"), after consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances, determined that the Company's previously issued financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 should no longer be relied upon due to an error related to the calculation of fair value of contingent consideration at the time of the acquisition of PandoLogic Ltd.
, which led to an understatement of goodwill of $8.0 million, intangible assets of $6.0 million, and contingent consideration of $13.1 million at the time of the acquisition,
and an overstatement of subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration of $6.6 million, and an understatement of subsequent intangible amortization expense of $0.3 million.  The restatement results in a non-cash charge that reduces general and administrative expenses and results in a favorable change to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company does not expect any of the changes described above to have an impact on its cash balances or liquidity.
Any related press releases, stockholder communications, investor presentations or other communications describing relevant portions of the
financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022
should no longer be relied upon.
The Company will restate its prior period financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 in an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to be filed as soon as practicable.
The Company evaluated the aggregate effects of the errors to its previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and No. 108 and, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements and disclosures included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 or for any quarterly periods included therein.
The Company will adjust its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 in order to correct this immaterial error in the
amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022
.
The Company will revise its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 when it files its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022.
Tables presenting the effects of these adjustments to the Company's previously issued financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and as of and for the year ended, December 31, 2021 have been attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Company's management
identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to the appropriate oversight and sufficient review of the work performed by third-party specialists on the Company's behalf and the coordination of work being performed by more than one specialist.  Such third-party specialists were used in the preparation of (i) the Company's valuation of contingent consideration, (ii) the Company's valuation of certain identified intangible assets and (iii) the Company's purchase price allocation pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations, in connection with the acquisition of PandoLogic Ltd.
The Company's management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Grant Thornton LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
