ITEM 4.02
Non-Reliance
on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report of Completed
Interim Review
On June
18, 2009 we were advised by Ernst & Young, our independent registered
public accounting firm, that the audit opinion dated March 24, 2009 on
our December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements could no longer be
relied upon. We were further advised by Ernst & Young that there
were errors in our September 30, 2008 interim consolidated financial
statements, in our December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements
and in our March 31, 2009 interim consolidated financial
statements. Based on the foregoing, C. Geoffrey Hampson, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the
previously filed consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008, our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2009, and our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which
was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2009, should no
longer be relied upon due to errors in the consolidated financial
statements which include the following:
(i) Warrants
that we issued in conjunction with a financing that we closed on November 19,
2008 should be valued and classified as a liability in our financial statements,
rather than as equity. We believe that this increase to our
liabilities will be approximately $90,000.
(ii) As
part of the acquisition of Auctomatic Inc., we agreed to issue a total of
approximately 1,000,000 shares to the former shareholders of Auctomatic.
Of these, 413,604 shares were to be issued to three members of
Auctomatic’s management, one third each on the first, second and third
anniversaries of the transaction, conditional on the individuals remaining as
employees of Live Current Media Inc. The portion of the fair value of the
shares to be issued based on the period of service these individuals provided to
us, computed in relation to the period of service required for the individuals
to become entitled to the shares, should have been recorded as an expense in
2008 and 2009.
(iii) On
January 1, 2009 we were to pay a bonus of
CDN
$100,000 to our President and Chief Corporate Development
Officer. This bonus was not accrued as a liability as at December 31,
2008. The bonus is not discretionary, therefore an additional
liability and expense of $
81,660
should have been recorded in our financial statements at December 31,
2008. This item was erroneously included in our financial statements
for the period ended March 31, 2009, insofar as the compensation expense is
recorded in 2009 and not 2008.
We intend
to file an amended Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 and an
amended Form 10-Q/A for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 as soon as practicable.
Until the
restated reports are filed, we are continuing our investigations with respect to
these matters.
Management
is assessing the effect of the restatement on our internal control over
financial reporting and our disclosure controls and
procedures. Management will not reach a final conclusion on the
effect of the restatements on internal control over financial reporting and
disclosure controls and procedures until completion of the restatement
process.
Mr.
Hampson discussed these matters with our independent registered public
accounting firm.
