Explanatory Note
As previously disclosed in Item 8.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 14, 2017, our independent registered public accounting firm, OUM & Co. LLP (“OUM”) notified management and the Audit Committee of Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) that it had concluded that its report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 should no longer be relied upon and that a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting existed as of such date.
We note that no restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements or footnote disclosures for any periods through and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 has occurred.
As part of its original audit of the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, OUM assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. At that time, OUM and the Company concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.
Subsequent to the original issuance of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board conducted an inspection of OUM’s 2016 audit of the Company. As a result, OUM reevaluated the Company’s information technology (IT) general controls, and has now concluded that a “material weakness” existed as of December 31, 2016.
After consultation with OUM, management also concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2016 and, accordingly, its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at December 31, 2016.
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017 (the “Original Filing”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to revise Part I, Item 4 of the Original Filing to reflect management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2017.
Other than as described above and the inclusion with this Amendment No. 1 of new certifications by management, and related amendments to the List of Exhibits contained in Part II, Item 6 of the Original Filing, this Amendment No. 1 speaks only as of the date of the Original Filing and does not amend, supplement or update any information contained in the Original Filing to give effect to any subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) subsequent to the Original Filing.
PART I. Financial information
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, at the time that our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was filed on November 8, 2017 our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Subsequent to that evaluation, management reevaluated its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 and concluded that there was a material weakness in the Company’s information technology general controls as of that date. Specifically, our design and maintenance of processes and procedures that restrict access to key financial systems and records to appropriate users did not ensure there was adequate segregation of duties, and our compensating controls, including management oversight, could not be sufficiently demonstrated by evidence to overcome this weakness. The existence of this material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
As a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017. The Company is amending this Item 4 to reflect this conclusion.
It should be noted that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment and makes assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except with respect to the material weakness noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
