ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.
On April 18, 2013, the Board of Directors of Amaru, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”) was notified by WilsonMorgan, LLP. ("WM"), its previous independent registered public accounting firm who issued the audit report for the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 that they were withdrawing its audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (the "2011 Financial Statements"), and that said audit report should no longer be relied upon. The reasons for the withdrawal of said audit report were provided by WM in its letter dated as of April 18, 2013 to the Registrant. WM stated that when they were contacted in March 2013 by Wei Wei & Co., LLP, the Registrant's current independent registered public accounting firm, in connection with the audit of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, to review certain workpapers from the audit of the 2011 Financial Statements and to obtain their consent for the inclusion of the 2011 Financial Statements in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K, WM discovered that significant workpapers for the audit of the 2011 Financial Statements were missing from their audit file. WM also informed the Registrant that they discovered that there was not a second partner, or "concurring" review, of the audit prior to the issuance of the audit report.
The Registrant's management has discussed the matters described in this Item 4.02 with the Board of Directors and the members of the Audit Committee of the Registrant, and the Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm Wei Wei & Co., LLP. The new audit of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 will be performed by Wei Wei & Co., LLP. WM agreed to cover the full cost of such audit, including, any other related filing, legal and other fees and expenses. The Registrant will file an amended Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2011 and any amended quarterly reports as may be required.
