ITEM 4.02a | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
On June 17, 2008, the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors of pSivida Limited (the Company) concluded, after consultation with the Companys management, that the Company will restate its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007. Accordingly, the Audit and Compliance Committee determined that the Companys previously issued financial statements for each of these periods should no longer be relied upon.
For the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued its audited consolidated financial statements presented in Australian dollars (A$) in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (A-IFRS). In connection with the Companys ongoing reincorporation from Western Australia to Delaware, United States, the Company is preparing audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007 in U.S. dollars (US$) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). During the course of the audit, the Company identified an error relating to the December 2005 acquisition of Control Delivery Systems, Inc. The error was the result of incorrectly translating the A$ value of shares issued as purchase consideration for the acquisition back to US$ by using the exchange rate at the measurement date determined under A-IFRS instead of under US GAAP. The impact of correcting this error resulted in an increase to both goodwill and additional paid-in capital at March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 of approximately $4.7 million.
This error does not affect the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for any of the quarterly periods referenced above.
The Company will file amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 to correct for this error as soon as possible.
The Companys management and Audit and Compliance Committee discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
