| ITEM 4.02. | NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR ARELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW. |
On August 23, 2010, the Company concluded, after consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm and a review of the pertinent facts, that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and Quarterly Reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2009, and September 30 and June 30, 2008, respectively, should not be relied upon due to the following:
The Company improperly allocated, for financial statement purposes, the proceeds received in connection with the April 2008 debt financing transaction and the August and December 2009 and January 2010 preferred stock financing transactions (collectively, “the financings”). The restated financial statements include the effects of properly allocating the financing proceeds between (1) the debt or preferred stock, as applicable, (2) any derivative liabilities associated with warrants for the purchase of common stock, and (3) any beneficial conversion features (“BCF”), as a component of additional paid-in capital, which allow the debt and preferred shareholders to convert their investment into the Company’s common stock on favorable terms.
Due to the improper allocation of proceeds on the April 2008 debt financing which resulted in an incorrect basis for the debt, the Company improperly reported the loss on debt extinguishment upon its settlement in August 2009. The debt settlement will be reported in the 2009 income statement as described, beginning with the restated annual financial statements for 2009 and 2008, and in the restated September 30, 2010 10-Q filing. The settlement occurred in August 2009, and therefore does not affect the income statements presented. However, the accompanying balance sheets appropriately reflect the impact of settlement.
Certain warrants containing variable exercise terms associated with the financings were reported as a component of paid-in capital instead of properly reflecting them as a derivative liability at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the income statement each period. The restated financial statements include the effects of reporting the derivative liabilities and their associated changes in value correctly.
A BCF was inappropriately recorded as a debt discount on the April 2008 financing in addition to being amortized over the subsequent 12 months with a charge to expense. Furthermore, separate BCFs associated with the December 2009 and January 2010 preferred stock financings were erroneously omitted due to a misallocation of proceeds for financial statement purposes. The restated financial statements include the effects of allocating financing proceeds to the applicable BCFs by recording a preferred stock discount with a credit to additional paid-in capital. The discounts were then charged immediately to retained earnings as deemed preferred stock dividends pursuant to the terms of the agreement which provide immediate conversion rights.
Earnings per share has been restated to include the effects of the restated financial statements
The Company’s management, in consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, has determined that as a result of such accounting matters, its reported net income was overstated by $3,529,126 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and understated by $112,650 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed herein with Kabani & Company, Inc., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The Company intends to file amendments to certain of its previously-filed periodic reports in the near future, each of which will contain restated financial statements as a result of the aforementioned accounting matters.
