Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements
or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On January 18, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors (the “Committee”) of Live Ventures Incorporated (the “Company”), in consultation
with management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the quarterly periods ended
December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (collectively, the “Restated Periods”) should no longer be
relied upon because of errors related to the (i) classification of certain debt of our subsidiaries Marquis Industries, Inc.
(“Marquis”) and Vintage Stock, Inc. (“Vintage Stock”) as long-term debt when it should have been
classified as short-term debt, (ii) characterization of deposits (advance payments) on the purchase of Marquis carpet
manufacturing equipment and the related cash flow presentation (operating versus investing), (iii) accounting for the down
round provisions contained in certain convertible notes and related warrants we issued in 2012, 2013 and 2014, which warrants
were subsequently amended to remove such provisions in December 2014, (iv) classification of certain amounts relating to
shares of our Series E Preferred Stock, (v) classification of certain prepaid expenses and other current assets as
receivables, and (vi) classification of the seller financing provided by the sellers of Vintage Stock. The errors described
above will result in the restatement of our financial statements for the Restated Periods.
The Committee has discussed the matters disclosed herein with
Anton & Chia LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for quarterly period ended December 31,
2016, and BDO USA, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the quarterly periods ended March 31,
2017 and June 30, 2017.
