Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On April 15, 2011, John Benfield, Chief Executive Officer of The Brainy Brands Company, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2009 , should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements . The Company identified a material lease license agreement between the Company and an entity controlled by an officer of the Company. The lease license agreement provided for license payment of $0.50 per unit sold subject to a minimum monthly licensing fee of $2,750. The Company did not record the minimum monthly accrual. As a result of the error, the Company restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, as reflected in the Company’s 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2011. Mr. Benfield has discussed this matter with the Company’s independent accountant.
On January 31, 2012, John Benfield concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements . In connection with responding to comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company engaged a valuation firm to perform a valuation on assets transferred to the Company’s subsidiary, Brainy Acquisitions, Inc., by The Brainy Baby Company, LLC, on September 23, 2010. The valuation firm concluded such valuation on January 31, 2011. In connection with the results of such valuation, the Company determined that the value of the Company’s assets as stated on the Company’s financial statements for the above-noted periods should no longer be relied upon. Mr. Benfield has discussed this matter with the Company’s independent accountant.
