Revision of Prior Period Amounts

 

In preparing the Company's financial statements for the quarter ended October 31, 2013, the Company discovered and corrected errors related to the accounting of stock options issued to officers and a director in prior years which were either fully vested at the date of grant or with a vesting term ranging up to 9 years. The prior year financial statements amortized these costs over the contractual term as opposed to the vesting period. This error resulted in misstatements in stock based compensation expense and additional paid in capital for the following fiscal years:

 

    Over (under) statement  
July 31, 2011   $ (2,018,750 )
July 31, 2012     274,741  
July 31, 2013     (2,181,461 )
Net understatement   $ (3,925,470 )

 

Additionally, 72,500,000 in warrants were issued to officers on December 31, 2012 as part of their employment agreements. These warrants vested on that date and were determined to have a fair value of $3,261,000. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, the Company recognized an expense related to these warrants of $920,463. Therefore, there was a net understatement in stock-based compensation expense of $2,340,537 in the prior year.

 

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 ("SAB 99 and SAB 108"), the Company evaluated these errors and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that they were immaterial to each of the reporting periods affected and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission was not required. However, if the adjustments to correct the cumulative effect of the aforementioned errors had been recorded in the three months ended October 31, 2013, the Company believes the impact would have been significant to the current quarter and would impact comparisons to prior periods. Therefore, as permitted by SAB 108, the Company revised in the current filing the previously reported balance sheet as of July 31, 2013 and quarterly results during the three months ended October 31, 2012.

 

These errors did not impact total stockholders' deficit but impacted additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit reported on the balance sheet at July 31, 2013, as follows:

 

    As previously
reported
    Adjustments     As revised  
Additional paid in capital   $ 27,429,672     $ 6,266,007     $ 33,695,679  
Accumulated deficit during the development stage     (28,584,388 )   $ (6,266,007 )     (34,850,395 )
