Item 4.02

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


On December 15, 2017 Bright Mountain Media, Inc. received an oral notice from Liggett & Webb P.A., our independent registered public accounting firm, that its review of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 appearing in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 should no longer be relied upon as a result of errors in such statements as addressed in FASB ASC Topic 250. Specifically, our auditors orally advised our Chief Financial Officer that errors exist in the purchase price allocation related to our acquisition of Daily Engage Media Group LLC during September 2017. Our Chief Financial Officer has discussed this matter with our auditors.


The correction of these errors will result in the restatement of our condensed consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) at September 30, 2017 and our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (unaudited). While we expect that line items within both our total assets and total liabilities will change as the result of a reallocation of both assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 in amounts we have not yet quantified, we do not expect any material change in either our total assets or total liabilities at that date. We also do not expect any change in our condensed consolidated statement of operations (unaudited) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. We expect to file an amendment to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 as soon as possible.


We have provided Liggett & Webb P.A. with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that it provide us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether such firm agrees with the statements made by us herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agreement. A copy of the letter from Liggett & Webb P.A. advising that it agrees with the statements made herein is filed as Exhibit 7.1 to this report.
