Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information contained in Item 4.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02.

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

On March 26, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of AudioEye, Inc. (the “Company”), based in part on the recommendation of the Company’s management and in consultation with the Company’s auditors and advisors, concluded that because of errors identified in the Company’s previously issued financial statements, the Company will restate its previously issued financial statements for its quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2014. The Audit Committee also authorized an internal review of controls and policies. Accordingly, investors should no longer rely upon the Company’s previously released financial statements or other financial data for these periods, including any interim period financial statements, and any earnings releases relating to these periods. In addition, investors should no longer rely on the preliminary earnings release issued by the Company on January 12, 2015 relating to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

Based on the review to date, the Company anticipates removing all revenue derived from non-cash exchanges of a license of the Company for the license of the Company’s customer and all revenue from non-cash exchanges of a license of the Company for services of the Company’s customer, and reducing by a material amount previously reported license cash revenue. The aggregate amount of revenue reported for the first nine months of 2014 for non-cash transactions was approximately $8,100,000. The reversal of revenue on the non-cash exchange transactions will also impact additional accounts including reductions in Prepaid Assets, Intangible Assets and Amortization Expense. The Company also expects that certain expenses will be reclassified. Additional adjustments may be identified pursuant to the ongoing review and analysis. The Company has also begun a review of calendar year 2013 activity to determine whether there are any adjustment that may impact previously issued financial statements. There are no known adjustments to 2013 financials at this time. The cash balance is not impacted by these changes.

The Company, along with its advisors and outside accountants, continues to perform its review in order to conclude and quantify the impact. The Company expects to complete this process and file its restated financial statements over the course of the next several weeks. The Company does not expect to timely file its Form 10-K for calendar year 2014 or its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Subject to the completion of the audit and the restatement of previously issued financial statements, the Company expects to be timely with its filings for the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

In accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s management has been assessing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Based on this assessment, the Company expects to report material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls and therefore conclude that internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls are not effective.

The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with MaloneBailey, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Effective March 29, 2015, the Company appointed Donald Weinstein as Chief Financial Officer, who will fulfill the role pursuant to an Interim Services Agreement as of March 29, 2015 between the Company and Randstad Professionals US, LP, d/b/a Tatum (“Tatum”) (the “Services Agreement”). The

Services Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time for any reason upon notice to the other party; provided, however, the parties will endeavor to provide as much notice as possible prior to termination (preferably two business weeks). Under the Services Agreement, the Company will pay Tatum a fee of $250 per hour for Mr. Weinstein’s services. Mr. Weinstein, 50, has worked for Tatum, an executive staffing firm, since March 2015. From July 2013 through February 2015, Mr. Weinstein was CFO of AccessMedia 3. From September 2004 until July 2013, Mr. Weinstein was self-employed as a contract Chief Financial Officer primarily for private-equity-backed, middle market companies including Woods Restoration Services, TextbookX.com and BountyJobs, Inc. Prior to that, from 2002 until 2004, Mr. Weinstein served as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of MasTec, Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed Company that was the second largest international specialty contractor for telecommunications and energy infrastructure construction to telecom vendors, wireless providers, cable TV operators and energy companies. From 1999 to 2001, Mr. Weinstein served as Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of AGL Resources, Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed Company that was the largest U.S. natural gas distribution Company. Mr. Weinstein holds a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Connecticut.

Also, effective March 29, 2015, Edward O’Donnell resigned from his position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
