Item 4.02(a) – Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Reports

 

On March 30, 2012, after investigation and assessment carried out by the Company, management determined that the unaudited interim financial results for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, presented in the previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those fiscal periods should not be relied upon because of errors in the unaudited financial statements. The Board approved management’s conclusion.

 

The correction to the unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011, relates to the incorrect classification of realized foreign exchange losses, resulting from purchasing activity of the Company denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. Such losses were recorded in other comprehensive income when in fact they should have been recorded in pre-tax income. The incorrect accounting was identified in the course of the annual closing process for the 2011 financials and corrected for purposes of the annual financials. There were no misstatements of 2010 annual and quarterly results and all prior years' annual and quarterly results as there was no such business activity similar to what caused the transaction losses in 2011. The 2011 annual results included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2011 filed by the Company on March 30, 2011 are not subject to restatement as the aforementioned matter was identified and corrected prior to the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial information below is unaudited and reflects management’s current assessment of the errors. Until the financial statements of the affected quarterly periods, have been finalized and re-filed there can be no assurance that the financial information below will not be revised; therefore it should be considered preliminary and subject to change. See forward looking statements disclosure at the end of this current report.

 

The incorrect classification affected exchange gains and losses reported in net income and foreign currency translation adjustments reported in other comprehensive income. The exchange losses were understated and the other comprehensive income relating to foreign currency translation adjustments was also understated. The charts below reflect the adjustments that should be recorded against the figures previously disclosed in the Form 10-Q Reports, which are subject to finalization of the corrected financial statements:

Unaudited interim financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011  $434,920   $829,111 

 

The impacts on unaudited balance sheets as of March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 were the increase of deferred tax assets and shareholder's equity by $30,121, $98,548 and $207,278, respectively.

 

The Company intends to file the revised Form 10-Q Reports for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2011 contemporaneous with the Company’s filing of its 2012 Q1 Form 10-Q and no later than May 15, 2012.
