Item 4.02.        Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

Terra Nova Financial Group, Inc. ("Terra Nova") will be restating its previously reported consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 contained in Terra Nova's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Terra Nova's interim consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2006 through September 30, 2007 contained in Terra Nova's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for such periods. Accordingly, Terra Nova's consolidated financial statements for these periods and the related reports of its independent registered public accounting firm should not be relied upon.

Terra Nova's restatement results from an error in recognition of stock-based compensation expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised) associated with 575,000 warrants issued to employees in May, 2006 and an additional 2,452,500 warrants issued to employees in August, 2006 (collectively, the "Warrants"). The Warrants provided for vesting over the course of three years and were intended to provide that unvested portions of the Warrants would be forfeited upon the employee's termination of employment. In March of 2008, Terra Nova became aware that the Warrant award agreements did not include an explicit service condition that the unvested portion of the Warrants were subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment. Accordingly, absent a service condition in the award agreements, the compensation cost related to the Warrants should have been fully recognized on the date of grant in 2006 and not over the vesting period, as Terra Nova had previously recorded. The result of the errors was an understatement of stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 and an overstatement of stock-based compensation expense of $787,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The following tables reflect a summary of the effects of the restatement on the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the quarterly periods beginning June 30, 2006 through September 30, 2007 along with year ended December 31, 2006.
