Non-Reliance on Previous Financials, Audits or Interim Review
On January 27, 2009 IPtimize Inc. ("IPZI" or "the Company") discovered that it will have to restate the results of its operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 ("Fiscal 2006 & 2007") and that the previously issued financial statements for those periods, together with the auditor's report thereon, for those periods should not be relied upon until restated financial information is filed with the SEC. The Fiscal 2006 & 2007 financial statements will be restated to increase the loss from the operations by $514,320 and increase in preferred dividend by $30,202 (2006) or $.07 per share loss attributable to common shareholders; and restated to increase the loss from the operations by $102,864 and increase in preferred dividend by $181,812 (2007) or $.03 per share loss attributable to common shareholders.
The Company also decided that in connection with the restatement of Fiscal 2006 & 2007 it intends to review certain aspects of its accounting for the results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, as discussed below, and therefore caution that the financial statements for those periods should also not be relied upon until the Company either announces that its review of those interim 2008 financial statements has indicated that no changes to the financial statements for one or more of those interim periods are needed or it files restated financial information for one or more of those interim periods with the SEC.
The restatement of the results of operations for Fiscal 2006 & 2007 will affect the interest expense related to the 2006 bridge notes for both Fiscal 2006 & 2007 and there will be a restatement of the dividend costs for the Company's preferred B stock for both Fiscal 2006 & 2007. The issues both result from an accounting error relating to the calculation of an embedded beneficial conversion feature under the accounting provisions EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 that require that a calculation be made to reflect the embedded value of a security that is in the money at the date of issuance. These provisions provide that the calculation includes the value of the benefit be discounted for the length of the holding period.
The embedded beneficial conversion feature for the 2006 bridge notes has a discounted value at the date of issuance of $617,184 to be accreted over the one year term of the loans. The amount for Fiscal 2006 was $514,320 which represents 10 months of expense and will be classified as interest expense on the restated financial statements and would increase the net loss for Fiscal 2006 to $3,371,855. The affect of this cost on loss per share is $0.065 per share and increase the loss per share to $0.43. The amount for Fiscal 2007 was $102,864 which represents 2 months of expense and will be classified as interest expense on the restated financial statements. The loss for Fiscal 2007 will increase to $3,018,481. The affect of this cost on loss per share is $0.01 per share and increase the loss to $0.28. The Fiscal 2007 expense was all incurred in the first Fiscal quarter March 31, 2007.
The error in the calculation of the embedded beneficial conversion feature was discovered in the process of the Company's preparation of answers to a comment letter received from the SEC regarding its filing for Fiscal 2007. The Company, under the supervision of its Audit Committee and in turn is being assisted by an independent accounting expert, who is inquiring into the circumstances relating to the foregoing error to assure that there are no other financial reporting or disclosure control items that may be of concern. Due to the ongoing nature of this inquiry, the Company is unable to assess definitively the impact such inquiry may have upon its prior public reports. Once the ongoing inquiry is completed and the results are finalized, the Company will restate its financial statements, as may be appropriate. The Company has not yet determined what changes will be required to the previously reported results of operations or financial position in response to the inquiry. The Company is hopeful that it will be able to complete its inquiry and to publish restated financial statements by March 1, 2009.
The Company urges the marketplace not to rely on the Company's previously issued financial statements for Fiscal 2006 & 2007 and the interim periods within Fiscal 2008 until the publication of the restated financial statements by the Company.
