Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On March 31, 2023, SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the year ended 2022. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
The information furnished pursuant to this “Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition”, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by us under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
 
Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
On March 30, 2023, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of the Company, and the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Prior Year Financial Statements”), and the Company's previously issued interim financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the six months ended June 30, 2022, and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (the “Prior Period Interim Financial Statements”), should no longer be relied upon as a result of the following accounting errors:
 
 
The Company concluded that it did not correctly account for a financed insurance premium whereby a third-party lender prepaid the Company's annual insurance premiums to our insurance companies in exchange for a short-term interest bearing note (the “Insurance Financing Agreement”). The Company previously recognized, on its consolidated balance sheet, a current prepaid asset for the amount paid by the Company under the Insurance Financing Agreement in excess of the total amortized value of the prepaid insurance policy. The Company reassessed its accounting for the Insurance Financing Agreement and determined that the Insurance Financing Agreement should be classified as a current note payable with the full amount of the insurance premium recognized as current prepaid asset at the time the Company entered into the Insurance Financing Agreement. 
     
 
The Company concluded that the Insurance Financing Agreement and corresponding payment to the third-party lender constitutes a constructive receipt and disbursement of cash. As a result, the Company determined the cash flows from financing activities contained within the Prior Year Financial Statements is understated—this error is accompanied by a corresponding overstatement in cash flows from operating activities due to an understated prepaid asset.
     
  Similar to the above assessment, the Company concluded that the cash payments to the third-party lender should be presented within cash flows from financing activities. As a result, the Company determined the cash flows from financing activities contained within the Prior Period Interim Financial Statements are overstated—this error is accompanied by a corresponding understatement in cash flows from operating activities due to the derecognition of the previously unrecognized prepaid asset.
 
Accordingly, investors should no longer rely upon the Prior Year Financial Statements or the Prior Period Interim Financial Statements.
 
The Company is restating its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and intends to file an amendment to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 to restate the Prior Year Financial Statements.
 
The Audit Committee and management of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
