Item 4.02.

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report

On April 2, 2019, the Audit Committee (“Audit Committee”) of FTE Networks, Inc. (the “ Company ”), following a communication by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“ Marcum ”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and interim reviews of the financial statements for the periods ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2018 and 2017, should no longer be relied upon.

The conclusion to prevent future reliance on the aforementioned financial statements resulted from the determination that such financial statements failed to properly account for certain convertible notes and other potentially dilutive securities. Specifically, the Company identified a potential issue related to the accounting related to certain convertible notes and other potentially dilutive securities the Company issued in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

The Audit Committee has discussed these matters with Marcum representatives and their review is ongoing.
