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

 

On August 14, 2024, management of OpGen, Inc. (the “Company”), in consultation with the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained within its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the financial statements and that a restatement of such prior financial statements is required. The error relates to the accounting treatment of an indemnification asset arising from the Company’s former office lease in the Q1 2024 Financial Statements. In the Q1 2024 Financial Statements, the Company recorded an indemnification asset and associated gain on lease indemnification to reflect the entry by the Company into a sublease agreement with a subtenant and the subtenant’s agreement to indemnify the Company from any claims, obligations, or liabilities that may arise during their tenancy beginning on April 1, 2024. The Company subsequently determined that such accounting was incorrect and that the Company should continue to account for the headlease as a continuing operating lease and sublease. Based on the foregoing, the Company will correct such error by restating the Q1 2024 Financial Statements in an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the affected period.
