As previously disclosed, the Company identified an issue relating to its recording of certain revenue of its Promotions.com subsidiary ("Promotions.com" which subsidiary the Company sold in December 2009, as previously announced) and, as a result, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Audit Committee") engaged outside counsel, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LL P, and accounting experts, AlixPartners LLP, and conducted an independent review of accounting matters related to Promotions.com (the "Review"). As a result of the Review, on January 22, 2010, the Audit Committee concluded that, due to certain inaccuracies in the previously-issued consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the 2008 Periods, such consolidated financial statements no longer should be relied upon. The Company will restate its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and anticipates filing, on or before February 8, 2010, a Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, which shall contained certain revised results for the quarters within such fiscal year. The restatement will not affect the Company's previously-reported cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable secu rities. The restatement will make adjustments to correct errors related to the timing of recognition of revenue within the Promotions.com subsidiary and make adjustments to revenue and expense related to transactions with certain third parties involving the Promotions.com subsidiary, in which the Company contracted both to provide services to, and receive services from, such third parties. The adjustments will result in reduced revenue in certain quarters, and increased revenue in other quarters, as compared to results previously reported; reduced expense in certain quarters, as compared to results previously reported; and reduced net income (or increased net loss) in certain quarters, and reduced net loss in other quarters, as compared to results previously reported. Moreover, as a result of the restatement, certain revenue previously reported within 2008 Periods will be deferred and recognized in 2009. The Audit Committee and authorized officers of the Company have discussed this matter with its current independent accountant, KPMG LLP, as well as with Marcum LLP (f/k/a Marcum & Kliegman, LLP), which was the Company's independent accountant during the Company's 2007 and 2008 fiscal years. |
