| Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
On May 25, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of International Stem Cell Inc., (the “Company”), determined that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and for each of the quarterly periods in those years, should no longer be relied upon because of errors in such financial statements related to the Company’s accounting for warrants issued which include an anti-dilution feature.
The Company plans to restate its financial statements for those periods and to amend the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which it expects to file as soon as all the issues have been addressed.
The restatement results from the Company’s review during the first quarter of 2011 of guidance relating to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 07-5 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5), codified as ASC 815-40-15. EITF 07-5 provides guidance as to assessing equity versus liability treatment and classification for equity-linked financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants and was adopted for reporting periods starting in 2009. Because of the anti-dilution feature, the warrants issued to the Company’s equity placement agent in 2006 and 2007 would not be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore required under EITF 07-5 to be classified as a liability and re-measured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in operating results
The effect on the Company’s previously issued quarterly and annual financial statements are summarized as follows:
