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

 

From the period beginning with the Year ended 2011 to the current period, Management has filed financial statements on a quarterly and annual basis without an audit or review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Management did not engage our auditor to audit or review those reports due to financial hardship, but filed the financial reports without an audit or review in order to keep its shareholders informed as to the Company’s activities. In May 2014, Management engaged our independent registered public accounting firm, UHY LLP, which had audited and reviewed our filings between 2007 and 2011, to begin the process of auditing our 2011, 2012 and 2013 financial reports and to bring us current with the filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The sole director and officer of the company, in the absence of an audit committee, has discussed with our independent accountant the matters disclosed in this filing as required by item 4.02(a)3. 

 

While the company became aware of some possible adjustments over the last few weeks, the largest adjustment related to the goodwill impairment and was not known until the company completed its step 2 analysis on October 22, 2014. The step 2 analysis was determined to be necessary because the Company’s market capitalization at December 31, 2011 was less than its book value. Therefore, as of October 22, 2014, and as a result of these audits and reviews, which are not yet complete, we concluded that the previously filed financial statements in the Annual report for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the Quarterly Reports for 2012, 2013 and 2014 should no longer be relied upon.

 

Specifically, we believe our 2011 other liabilities will be reduced by approximately $280,000 due to the subsequent settlement and satisfaction of a lawsuit. We believe there will be an adjustment to goodwill and other intangible assets, reducing the carrying values reported in 2011 and in each subsequent period, by approximately $1,415,000. We believe there will be a decrease in the gain on the change in fair value of convertible instruments of approximately $250,000 and a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital, due to changes in accounting for beneficial conversion features of convertible debt. We also believe there will be an increase of about $100,000 in the 2011 interest expense the Company reported on its Notes Payable.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we believe the amended financials will show an increase in operating loss of about $1,447,000 and an increase in net loss of approximately $1,579,000. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we believe the amended financials will show an increase in operating loss of approximately $27,000 and a decrease in net loss of approximately $7,000. For 2013, we initially reported operating income and a net income of approximately $535,000 and $108,000, respectively, which after adjustments, we believe will result in an operating income of $530,000 and net loss of approximately $(178,000). The changes to 2012 and 2013 operating income (loss) and net income (loss) are primarily attributable to changes in accounting for beneficial conversion features of convertible debt and adjustment of a contingent liability related to a lease obligation.

 

We believe there will be no material changes to the figures originally reported for net sales, gross profit or adjusted EBITDA for the periods in 2011, 2012 and 2013. However, the aforementioned audits and reviews are not complete and additional adjustments may arise.

 

As a result of the above and as soon as practical, when the audits and reviews are complete, the Company will file with the SEC amendments to its Annual Report for 2011, and both its Annual and Quarterly Reports for 2012 and 2013. The Company intends to then file an amended 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2014. The Company then expects to file its 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2014 as soon as practical thereafter. Management is considering, and will continue to evaluate, the Company’s prior conclusions of the adequacy of its internal control over reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The steps to correct any deficiency over controls and procedures are being evaluated with the intention to correct any inadequacies as soon as practical.
