Explanatory Note

 

This 8-K/A is filed to amend in its entirety Item 4.02 of Coastal Bancshares Acquisition Corp.’s Form 8-K/A filed on June 28, 2006.

 

Item 4.02

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On June 19, 2006, in connection with the preparation of Amendment No. 1 to the Proxy Statement related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 5, 2006, by and among Coastal Bancshares Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coastal Merger Corp., a Texas corporation, and Intercontinental Bank Shares Corporation, a Texas corporation (“Intercontinental”), the Company, in consultation with its independent registered accounting firm, Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”), determined that it needed to reclassify certain amounts in its financial statements to report the warrants issued as part of the units in the Company’s initial public offering as a liability. The issue arose as a result of a comment received from the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement for another targeted acquisition company similar to the Company and Hein based its conclusions upon recent interpretations of the accounting for warrants issued as part of units under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 00-19”).

Under EITF No. 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering should be reported as a liability. The warrant agreement provides for the Company to register the shares underlying the warrants and is silent as to if a penalty is to be incurred in the absence of the Company’s ability to deliver registered shares to the warrant holders upon warrant exercise. Under EITF No. 00-19, registration of the issuance of the common stock underlying the warrants is not within the Company’s control. As a result, the Company must assume that it could be required to settle the warrants on a net-cash basis, thereby necessitating the treatment of the potential settlement obligation as a liability. Further, EITF No. 00-19 requires the Company to record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of the warrants, with any changes being recorded through its statement of operations. The potential settlement obligation will continue to be reported as a liability until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire, or the Company is otherwise able to modify the registration requirements in the warrant agreement to remove the provisions which require this treatment. The fair value of the warrant liability at February 14 and 18, 2005 (the dates of issuance), March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 was $7,176,000, $7,176,000, $8,721,600, $5,299,200, $6,624,000, $4,747,200 and $6,624,000, respectively. The fair value of the warrants was determined by the trading value of the securities on the last day of each period. Amounts reported as warrant liability income in the Company’s statements of operations resulting from the change in valuation of the warrant liability was $0, $2,428,800 and $1,876,800 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006, respectively. The Company had previously issued financial statements which did not present the warrant liability. Accordingly, on June 19, 2006, the Company determined the financial statements contained within the Company’s Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2006, Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Form 10-QSB for the period ended September 30, 2005, Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2005 and Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2005 should no longer be relied upon.

After discussions with management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company determined to restate its financial statements for such periods. The restated consolidated financial statements were included in the Company’s Form 10-QSB/A for the period ended March 31, 2006, and Form 10-KSB/A for the period ended December 31, 2005. The Company filed amended reports on Form 10-QSB/A and Form 10-KSB/A with respect to the restatement on June 26, 2006.

Company management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A with its independent registered public accounting firm, Hein & Associates, LLP.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, is a letter from the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Hein & Associates, LLP, in accordance with the requirements of Item 4.02(c) of Form 8-K.
