Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
ORB Automotive Corporation (the “Company”) will restate its financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 to correct an error in the formula for calculating the volatility factor for warrants issued in May 2011.  The volatility factor should have been 73% instead of 165%.  The change in volatility reduces the value of the warrants issued in May 2011 from $0.32 per warrant to $0.17 per warrant and results in the estimated fair value of one share of ordinary stock increasing from $0.85 per share to $1.00 per share.  As a result of this change, the Company will also restate the fair value of the 3.7 million shares of the Company’s ordinary stock given as consideration to acquire Hebei Hongtu Auto Parts Co., Ltd. (“Hongtu”) as $1.00 per share, up from $0.85 per share.  Consideration given for the Hongtu acquisition will increase and the bargain purchase gain related to the acquisition will decrease.

In addition, the change in the fair value of the warrant liability from the May 2011 issuance to June 30, 2011 decreased an additional $11,000 due to the correction of the volatility factor from 165% to 69% at June 30, 2011.
 
The aforementioned changes will impact the following previously reported financial information: (i) liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011; and (ii) net income and earnings per share for the Company’s statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as previously reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011.
 
The restatement will be reflected in an amendment to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011 to be filed within the next two to three days.  The purpose of this amendment will be to accurately reflect the (i) volatility factor of the warrants issued by the Company in May 2011, (ii) the fair value of one share of the Company’s ordinary stock, (iii) the fair value of the consideration given in the Hongtu acquisition and (iv) the change in the fair value of the warrant liability as of June 30, 2011 as set forth above.
 
On November 8, 2011, authorized officers of the Company concluded that such financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 should no longer be relied upon.  The Company’s revisions were identified in connection with the Company’s preparation of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
Authorized officers of the Company have discussed the matters described in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Morison Cogen LLP, the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm.
