Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

While preparing US Lighting Group, Inc.’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we determined that it was necessary to reassess our revenue recognition policy with respect to the accounting treatment for $200,000 in fees related to Futuro Houses dealer territory agreements that the company recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2023. At the direction of our board of directors, our management team discussed the accounting treatment with our independent accountant, GBQ Partners LLC, on November 9, 2023. After that discussion, our management team concluded that these fees represent a symbolic intellectual license, and pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, should be recognized over the expected term of the dealer agreements instead of at the time of receipt in the first quarter.

As a result of the misapplication of ACS 606, our previously issued financial statements for the first quarter of 2023 contained an error, overstating revenue by $179,498 in the statement of operations and understating deferred revenue in the balance sheet by the same amount. Our previously issued financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 continued this error, overstating revenue by $129,498 in the statement of operations and understating deferred revenue in the balance sheet by the same amount. We will refile our Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2023 to correct these errors. Futuro Houses, LLC entered into these dealer territory agreements in the first quarter of 2023, and they have no effect on our financial statements for 2022.
