RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | Background of the Restatement On April 28, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Liberated Syndication Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined that (a) the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018, (b) the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, (c) the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2018, and (d) the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year December 31, 2018, all as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Period Ended December 31, 2018, as previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2019, should not be relied upon. Subsequent to such determination, the Company reviewed the related interim financial statements and interim financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019 and 2018, and as a result of such review, on May 20, 2020, the Audit Committee determined that such interim financial statement should likewise no longer be relied upon. Specifically, the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 for total assets, current liabilities, and consequently total liabilities and total stockholders’ equity, were determined to be materially different. Additionally, the income tax (benefit) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was changed. As a result, the net income and the basic and diluted income per common share were determined to be materially different. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 also changed as a result of the deferred income taxes and income tax payable for 2018. During the 2019 audit process, it was discovered through an ongoing IRS examination it was discovered that the Company owed Federal tax for 2018. The IRS examination uncovered an error in calculating the Net Operating Loss Carryforward (NOL) resulting from the spin-off of Libsyn in 2016. At December 31, 2017, the Company had recorded an NOL of approximately $14 million. The NOL was part of deferred tax asset which was valued at $0 on the balance sheet, as it had a full valuation allowance. Consequently, the Company was not recognizing tax expenses or the associated tax payable during 2018. However, as the IRS examination continued, it has become clear that the $14 million NOL was overestimated by approximately $12.5 million, and by March 31, 2018, that the NOL has been completely utilized. The result is that the Company ought to have begun recording tax expenses in 2018. This Federal Tax Balance will be paid with an amended return in 2020. The Company has temporary tax differences which result in a deferred tax asset (DTA). Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, a DTA is to be recognized for the potential future tax benefit from a loss carryforward. Full realization of the benefit, however, depends on the Company having income in future years. Because the NOL has been completely utilized and the Company is now consistently recording profits, a DTA with the associated payable should have been recorded in 2018. DTAs represent future income tax benefits. But the tax benefits will be realized only if there is sufficient taxable income from which the deductible amount can be deducted. Impact of the Restatement As a result of the restatement, reported net income from continuing operations was decreased by $173,209, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a result of the restatement, reported net income from continuing operations was increased by $1,097,850, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Total assets increased by $1,380,251 at June 30, 2018. Current and total liabilities increased by $282,401 at June 30, 2018. Accumulated deficit decreased by $1,097,850 at June 30, 2018.
