Item 4.02.
 
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Internal Review

On January 21, 2011, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and for the Company’s fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010 could no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements related to the Company’s accounting for a software license sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (the “License”).

The Company recognized all of the license fee revenue associated with the License in March 2010 when the license agreement was executed and the software was provided to the customer.  In November 2010, the Company entered into a separate service agreement with the customer.  However, the original accounting did not consider the impact of essential services which are common for such software to meet the customer’s intended use.  Therefore, the Company has determined that the software license fee revenue should have been recognized over the period the professional services are rendered.

To correct this error, the Company will restate the affected financial statements as contained in amendments to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which the Company currently expects to file with the Commission on or before February 14, 2011.  The Company currently expects that such restated financial statements will be comprised of the following adjustments:

 
·
For the year ended March 31, 2010, (i) revenue and retained earnings will be decreased by $600,000 (the amount of the license fee), (ii) net loss will be increased by $600,000, (iii) net loss per share will be increased by $0.02 per share and (iv) deferred revenue will be increased by $600,000.

 
·
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, (i) retained earnings will be decreased by $600,000 and (ii) deferred revenue will be increased by $600,000.

 
·
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, (i) retained earnings will be decreased by $600,000 and (ii) deferred revenue will be increased by $600,000.

The Company currently expects to record the $600,000 license fee as an increase in revenue, net income (loss) and retained earnings as follows: approximately $100,000 of the license fee revenue is expected to be recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2010 with the remaining portion of the license fee revenue expected to be recognized in future periods as the professional services are rendered.

The Company has informed Ham, Langston and Brezina LLP, the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm of the matter disclosed in this filing.  Additionally, the Company and the Audit Committee discussed this matter with the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm.
