SECTION 4 – MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Item 4.02

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements.

 

On March 14, 2006, after due consideration of comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of the SEC’s review of certain of the Company’s filings, and in consultation with the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the Company decided to revise its annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, to change the accounting presentation of the three acquisitions the Company completed in December 2004.

 

The effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 would be to eliminate the related revenues and expenses of the three acquired companies, disclosing such information in the acquisition footnote to the financial statements as pro-forma information. The net loss and loss per share (basic and fully diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2004 would remain unchanged.

 

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 would be changed to increase the recorded cost of the three acquisitions to reflect additional contingent consideration potentially due under the related acquisition agreements.

 

The Company will also be amending its quarterly reports on Form 10QSB for 2005 to eliminate the revenues and expenses of the three acquisitions from the comparative 2004 numbers presented.

 

Additionally, the Company will be amending the three Forms 8KSB previously filed relating to the three acquisitions to include financial statements of the acquired companies for the periods prior to the acquisition, and to reflect, as pro-forma information, the information for 2004.
