CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

 

Debt Resolve, Inc.

 

November 18, 2016

 

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

 

On November 18, 2016, the Board of Directors of Debt Resolve, Inc. (the “Company”) determined, upon the recommendation of the Company’s management, and in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that the Company should restate its previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 due to certain errors made in the accounting for accounts receivable contained therein, as discussed below. Accordingly, the financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2016, as well as the Form 10-Qs for the two fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, should no longer be relied upon.

 

During the preparation of its financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company identified errors in the presentation of its accounts receivable reported as of December 31, 2015. Based on the Company’s reassessment of relevant accounting guidelines, it has corrected the error and characterized a portion of accounts receivable as a long term asset, rather than a current asset. The effect of these adjustments is a reclassification of $2,508,573 of reported accounts receivable as a long term asset. There was no change to any other asset or liability accounts. There was no effect on the Statements of Stockholders’ Deficiency, Operations or Cash Flows.

 

The following tables show the principal financial statement line items originally reported and restatement adjustments as of December 31, 2015:

The above accounts receivable is reported, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $600,000.

 

The Company expects to file in the near future an amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 to reflect the restatement of the previously issued financial statements. The Company intends to include in the 2015 Form 10-K restated annual and quarterly financial data for the periods impacted. The Company will label the financial information in the 2015 Form 10-K “As Restated” and will provide explanatory disclosure consistent with the requirements of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.”

 

The Company’s Board of Directors discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Liggett & Webb, P.A.
