Amedica Corporation (NASDAQ:AMDA) Files An 8-K Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

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

(a) On April 13, 2017, the Audit Committee of the board of
directors of Amedica Corporation (the Company) concluded that the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements filed on
November 14, 2016, in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2016 should no longer be relied upon.

During the preparation of its consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Company
identified errors due to failure to record a one-time non-cash
charge of $3,779,000 for the deemed dividend related to the
accretion of a discount on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2016. Based on the Companys reassessment of
relevant accounting guidance the effect of this adjustment
results in an increase in the non-cash deemed dividend related to
the accretion of a discount on conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock. The increase in the deemed dividend went from a previously
reported amount $2,499,000 to $6,278,000, an increase of
$3,779,000. As a result of the adjustment, the net loss
attributable to common stockholders is $10,616,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 2016 and $19,068,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2016. The adjustment also
caused an increase in the per share net loss attributable to
common stockholders for the three month period ended September
30, 2016 from $0.30 to $0.46 and an increase in the per share net
loss attributable to common stockholders for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2016 from $0.97 to $1.21.

To correctly present the deemed dividend on Series A Preferred
Stock, net loss attributable to common stockholders and per share
net loss attributable to common stockholders, the Companys
interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as
of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2016 will be restated in an amended Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q/A.
