Explanatory
Note
We are
filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on
December 22, 2009 in response to a letter we received from the Securities and
Exchange Commission asking that we provide additional information relating to
the Reportable Events described below.
Item
4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Previous
independent registered public accounting firm
On
December 16, 2009, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) was dismissed as the
independent registered public accounting firm for Live Current Media Inc. (the
“Company”). This action was approved by the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company.
The
reports of E&Y on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 did not contain any
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, however the report issued on the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 was modified as to our
ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and
through December 16, 2009, there were no disagreements with E&Y on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its
reports on the Company's financial statements for such fiscal
years.
During
the Company’s fiscal years ended December 2008 and 2007 and through the most
recent interim period, there were two “reportable events” as described in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (the “Reportable Events”).The Reportable
Events were as follows:
(1) As
disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K, as amended and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on September 14, 2009, our control environment did not
sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial reporting
throughout the organization because we did not have an appropriate level of
technical knowledge, experience and training in the accounting for business
combinations, stock based compensation, deferred income taxes and financial
statement disclosure.
(2) As
we disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K which we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2009 and amended on July 20,
2009, on June 18, 2009 the Company was advised by E&Y that the audit opinion
dated March 24, 2009 on the Company’s December 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidated
financial statements could no longer be relied upon because of errors in our
financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008
and March 31, 2009. These errors included errors in valuing and
classifying warrants issued in connection with a financing, recording the
appropriate expense related to the issuance of common stock made in exchange for
services, and appropriately accruing as a liability and recording bonus
compensation.
There
were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure with E&Y
relating to the Reportable Events. A member of our board of directors
discussed the Reportable Events with E&Y and reported to our board of
directors. We have authorized E&Y to respond fully to the
inquiries of our successor accountant concerning the Reportable
Events.
The
Company provided E&Y with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to
its filing with the Commission and requested that E&Y furnish a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether E&Y
agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this item 4.01 and
set forth above (the “Letter”). A copy of the Letter, dated January 21, 2010,
from E&Y to the Commission is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K.
(b)

New
independent registered public accounting
firm
|
On
December 18, 2009, Davidson & Company LLP (“Davidson”) was engaged as the
independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. The
engagement of Davidson was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company. During the Company’s fiscal years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and through December 18, 2009, the
Company did not consult with Davidson regarding any of the matters or events set
forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
On
December 22, 2009, the Company issued a press release to announce the change of
our certifying accountants. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit
99 to this report.
