ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.
On March 28, 2012, The Mint Leasing, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) sole Director, Jerry Parish, concluded that the Company's financial statements for the (a) year ended December 31, 2010, as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Commission on April 15, 2011; (b) three months ended March 31, 2011, as included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Commission on May 23, 2011; (c) three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Commission on August 22, 2011; and (d) three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, as included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Commission on November 14, 2011, should no longer be relied upon because such financial statements failed to account for a valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets.
The Company's sole Director has discussed the matter described above with the Company's independent auditors and the Company plans to restate its December 31, 2010 financial statements in its upcoming Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011, to correct and restate such financials as originally included therein, and to accurately account for a valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets.
