Glowpoint to Restate Financial Statements for Prior Fiscal Periods; Current Cash Position and Revenues Not Impacted
August 03 2005 - 5:00AM
Business Wire
Glowpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ: GLOW) the world's leading broadcast
quality IP-based video communications service provider, today
announced that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has
undertaken a review of certain financial accounting matters
affecting previously reported financial information. Glowpoint
engaged Eisner LLP as its independent auditors effective June 2,
2005. In connection with the engagement, Eisner LLP made certain
inquiries which resulted in the Company identifying such matters.
As a result of management's review to date, the Company has
concluded that its financial statements for the fiscal years 2002
through 2004 (and the related quarters) and the quarter ended March
31, 2005 will need to be restated. Consequently, those financial
statements should no longer be relied upon. The restatement is
expected to relate to transactions that principally occurred when
the Company was primarily a reseller of video conferencing
equipment. The restatement items that have been identified to date
generally involve the capitalization of costs associated with
purchases of video conferencing equipment, telecommunications
circuits used in the Company's network and third party software
that should have been expensed. While the review process is not yet
complete, the Company believes the restatement will increase
previously reported operating losses and net losses for the
indicated fiscal and quarterly periods. Other than corrections to
classifications resulting from the restatement, previously reported
cash flows are not expected to be impacted. In addition, the
Company's current cash position, 2005 revenue and revenues reported
in the prior periods are not expected to be impacted. As a result
of the review, the investor call scheduled for August 4, 2005 to
discuss the Company's second quarter results is being postponed. In
accordance with the provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, the Company's
Audit Committee has retained independent counsel to assist in this
review. The Company has also discussed the matters associated with
the restatement with Eisner LLP and BDO Seidman, LLP (the Company's
previous independent auditors). The Company has filed today a Form
8-K relating to this matter with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). While the Company, its Audit Committee and its
independent auditors are making every effort to complete all
necessary work, the Company will not be in a position to finalize
the financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005
in time to file its Form 10-Q within the prescribed time frame. The
Company is working diligently to complete the restatement and file
its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 as
expeditiously as possible. The earnings call will be rescheduled as
soon as the review is complete. About Glowpoint Glowpoint, Inc.
