ITEM 5. Registrant report of any other event which it deems of importance to its security holders.
International Absorbents Inc. (the “Registrant”) a British Columbia, Canada Corporation, has filed an amendment to the 3rd quarter Financial Statements for the period ended October 31, 2001 on SEC Form 10-QSB/A. The amendment will reflect a change in the comparative tables of the Income Statement for the 3 months and 9 months ended October 31, 2000. There are no changes to the current quarter results.
The deferred tax provision is amended to reflect the change in reporting for the comparative periods ending October 31, 2000. The Company had changed its reporting from Canadian GAAP to US GAAP at fiscal year end January 31, 2001. As a result, the recast of the reported comparative financial results did not incorporate the change in reporting.
The foregoing matter is further described in the press release issued by the Company on December 12, 2001, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The restated comparable financial information for the three months and nine months ended October 31, 2000 is included as part of the press release.
