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

 

     As was previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, on November 8, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 should not be relied upon because of errors in those financial statements. The decision was made by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of management after discovery and analysis of those errors and after advising Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), the Company’s newly appointed independent registered public accounting firm, which first identified the error.

 

In connection with the preparation and review of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, management became aware that the Company’s previously reported results for the second quarter of 2007 contained errors relating to the recognition of a gain of approximately $0.9 million relating to the effective settlement of a dispute between one of our subsidiaries and Pathfire Inc. (“Pathfire”) in connection with our purchase of Pathfire in June 2007. This accounting recognition was determined, in part, based upon the Company’s interpretation of Emerging Issues Task Force 04-01 (“EITF 04-01”). Upon subsequent review and analysis by the Company, the audit committee, and the Company’s new independent accountants, it was determined that the purchase accounting guidance in EITF 04-01 should have been applied differently.

 

Consequently, the Company previously restated its second quarter 2007 Form 10-Q to remove the $0.9 million gain, which was recorded in other income, the related tax effect and record an adjustment to reduce the purchase price of Pathfire.

 

The Company and the Audit Committee have discussed the foregoing with Ernst & Young.
