Item 7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

Modified SEC Reporting

As reported previously, on May 23, 2016, Perseon Corporation (the “Company”) filed a petition for relief under chapter 11 of 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company’s caption and case number is In re Perseon Corporation, Case No. 16-24435 (Bankr. D. Utah) (the “Chapter 11 Case”).  The Company plans to continue to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case, the Company has adopted a modified reporting program with respect to its reporting obligations under federal securities laws. In lieu of filing annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, each month the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a current report on Form 8-K that will have attached to it the monthly financial report required by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company does not intend to file periodic reports while the Chapter 11 Case is pending, but will continue to file current reports on Form 8-K as required by federal securities laws. The Company believes that this modified reporting program is consistent with the protection of its investors as set forth in Exchange Act Release No. 9660, dated June 30, 1972.

April 2016 Financial Statements

On June 13, 2016, the Company filed certain unaudited financial statements with the U.S. Trustee for the Chapter 11 Case for the period ended April 30, 2016 (the “Unaudited April Financial Statements”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Unaudited April Financial Statements are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Unaudited April Financial Statements are furnished for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. This Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) should not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Unaudited April Financial Statements

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Unaudited April Financial Statements, which financial statements were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Unaudited April Financial Statements are limited in scope, cover a limited time period, have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the requirements applicable in the Chapter 11 Case and is in a format acceptable to the U.S. Trustee. The Unaudited April Financial Statements were not audited or reviewed by independent public accountants, do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and are subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company's securities, the Unaudited April Financial Statements are complete. The Unaudited April Financial Statements also contain information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from

those required in the Company's reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of the Company's financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company's financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Unaudited April Financial Statements should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included herein may constitute “forward-looking” statements that are generally identifiable through the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project” and similar expressions and include any statements that are made regarding earnings expectations. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new information or events as they occur. These statements are based on a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual future results may differ materially due to a variety of factors. Factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially include: (i) the Company's ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Case; (ii) the Company's ability to operate its business during this process, (iii) the effects of the Company's bankruptcy filing on the Company's business and the interests of various creditors, equity holders and other constituents, (iv) the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Case, (v) risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Case, which may interfere with the Company's ability to develop and consummate a plan of reorganization, (vi) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company's liquidity or results of operations, and (vii) other factors disclosed by the Company from time to time in its filings with the SEC, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. As a result of these factors, the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Chapter 11 Case

The Company's stockholders are cautioned that trading in the Company's equity securities, including its common stock and publicly traded warrants, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's equity securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company's equity upon wind-up of the Chapter 11 Case. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its equity securities.

Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update such statements.
