Item 4.02.
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
During the year-end financial close process of fiscal 2010, Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (“Company”) discovered errors in its accounting treatment for certain warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and embedded conversion options issued in connection with a convertible note. Anti-dilution provisions present in all of these securities adjust the exercise price of the warrants and conversion price of the convertible debt if the Company sells any equity securities or securities convertible into equity, options or rights to purchase equity securities, at a per share selling price less than the exercise price pursuant to a weighted-average formula.  These anti-dilution provisions present in these securities result in these securities being classified as liabilities.  However, the Company had classified these securities as equity.
 
As a result, on March 17, 2011, with the recommendation of the Company’s management,  the board of directors concluded that the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year, and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods in 2010 and 2009 contained in the Company’s previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon and will be restated.
 
The Company’s Audit Committee has discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with its independent registered accounting firm, Perry-Smith LLP.
 
The Company anticipates that it will not be delayed in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Item 7.01.
