Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On March 26, 2012, management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of CommerceTel Corporation (the “Company”) concluded that the Company should restate goodwill related charges in connection with its three acquisitions that were completed during the year ended December 31, 2011. The determination was made in connection with the preparation of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”), at the advice of M&K CPAS, PLLC, the Company’s recently engaged independent registered public accounting firm (“M&K”), and following discussions with the accounting staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. M&K advised the Company on March 21st 2012, that valuing the restricted common stock issued in the acquisitions at the price paid by investors for Company shares in a number of private offerings around the time of the acquisitions was incorrect, and that a revised discounted restricted common stock valuation be used. As a result of the revised restricted stock valuation, the Company’s will also restate share based compensation as well as certain derivative liabilities. The revised discounted restricted common stock valuations are expected to result in understated goodwill for each of the three acquisitions, understated stock based compensation expense, an understatement of certain derivative liabilities and an understatement of the related expense related to the Company’s derivative liability, as reflected in its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011. Therefore, the Company concluded that the financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters then ended should no longer be relied upon and, accordingly, the Company intends to restate its financial statements for each of these three quarters.
Because the Company has re-engaged its valuation experts to advise it on the proper valuation of the stock issued in the acquisitions, the exact impact of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements is not known at the present time. The Company’s expects to include the restatements in the Form 10-K which is expected to be filed no later than April 15th, 2012. The Company further expects that the charges, which are unrelated to the Company’s cash flow or operations, will be non-recurring.
The Company has requested from its independent accountant a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission in which it confirms that it agrees with the statements made in response to this Item 4.02. Such letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company has been in talks with prospective investors and intends to disclose to them that it expects to report revenues for the fourth quarter, ending December 31, 2011, of approximately $980,000, an improvement of 16% from $843,000 in revenues for the third quarter ending September 30th, 2011. Cash used in Operating Activities is also projected to improve approximately 44% to an estimated $110,000 as compared to the third quarter, ending September 30th, 2011, of $194,000.
The Company also expects that it will incur a charge related to the impairment of goodwill during the last quarter of 2011 as a result of the valuation issues identified above under Item 4.02. The exact amount of the charge is unknown at this time.
The information in the preceding paragraphs shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. It may only be incorporated by reference into another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933 if such subsequent filing specifically references this Current Report on Form 8-K.
