Item 4.02    Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
On March 29, 2019, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of DropCar, Inc. (the “Company”), concluded that a restatement of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in each of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018, originally filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2018, August 14, 2018 and November 14, 2018, respectively (the “Quarterly Reports”), was required to correct certain errors related to the expense recognition for equity issued in connection with the January 30, 2018, completion of the business combination with DropCar, Inc., a then privately-held Delaware corporation, in accordance with the terms of a merger agreement, pursuant to which a merger subsidiary merged with and into Private DropCar, with Private DropCar surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary and should no longer be relied upon for the reasons identified below. The adjustment has no impact on cash flows. The conclusion was made in conjunction with EisnerAmper LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, which advised the Audit Committee on such matters on March 29, 2019.
 
Specifically, the Company incorrectly categorized $1,119,294 of non-cash expenses as equity in the first quarter of 2018. These adjustments impact all future quarter cumulative earnings and, as such, the Company anticipates that it will file an amendment to each of the Quarterly Reports in order to amend and restate its financial results for the affected periods as soon as practicable.
 
As previously disclosed in each of the Quarterly Reports, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of each such period. Based on their evaluation, for each such period, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses resulting from a limited segregation of duties among the Company’s employees with respect to its control activities and that this deficiency was the result of the Company’s limited number of employees. For each such period, the Company also identified material weaknesses surrounding the financial closing process and the recording of debt and equity transactions that occurred in each such period. These deficiencies may have affected management’s ability to determine if errors or inappropriate actions have taken place. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes in our disclosure controls and procedures. Following such evaluations, management implemented certain measures including additional cash controls, dual-signature procedures, and other review and approval processes by the Company’s management team.
 
In evaluating its assessment of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, management concluded that each was not effective as of that date.
 
The Board, the Audit Committee and the Company's management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 on Form 8-K with EisnerAmper LLP.
