ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.
On December 6, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Registrant concluded that the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010 (the Original Filing), should no longer be relied upon due to an understatement of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, as of December 31, 2009. Specifically, the Registrant determined that the dilutive effect of convertible preferred shares at December 31, 2009 was understated by 923,392 shares. This resulted in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, at December 31, 2009 also being understated by 923,392 shares. In turn, diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 was overstated by $0.40 per share.
Management and the Registrants Board of Directors discussed this matter with the Registrants independent registered public accounting firm.
On December 10, 2010, the Registrant filed an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, to correct the error described above.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
