Explanatory Note to Form 10-K/A

 

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2004 to resubmit the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm so that it complies with PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1.  We have been advised by the SEC that it is no longer appropriate to refer to auditing standards as “generally accepted” in the United States.  Instead, the audit report should have described the PCAOB’s standards as “the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)”.  Also, the first paragraph of the opinion of Ernst & Young LLP has been revised to state that the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows were audited for the three years in the period ended December 25, 2004 as opined by them in the last paragraph.  In accordance with the rules of the SEC, the full text of the affected Item 8 and Item 15 of the original filing on Form 10-K are included in this amendment and the certifications mandated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are hereby submitted as of the date hereof.

 

Amendment No. 1 also corrects an inadvertent error in the cover page:  the box for disclosure of delinquent filers pursuant to Item 405 of Regulation S-K should not have been checked.

 

This Form 10-K/A does not amend, modify or update any other information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

iParty Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of iParty Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 25, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of iParty Corp. and subsidiaries at December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 25, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

iPARTY CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 25, 2004

 

1.  THE COMPANY

 

Background

 

The Company’s efforts are devoted to the sale of party goods and services through its retail stores.  At the end of fiscal 2004 the Company had 40 retail stores located throughout New England, with four additional stores located in Florida.  In 2003, the Company licensed its Internet business to a third party in exchange for royalties under a license agreement, which to date have not been significant.  Previously, the Company operated the Internet business with the same party under a fulfillment agreement.

 

The stores feature over 20,000 products ranging from greeting cards and balloons to more unique merchandise such as piñatas, gag gifts, masquerade and Hawaiian Luau items.  The Company’s sales are driven by the following events:  Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, New Year’s, Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Chanukah.  The Company also focuses its business closely on lifetime events such as anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, and bridal or baby showers.  The Company’s business has a seasonal pattern with higher revenues in the second and fourth quarters, reflecting school graduations and Halloween, respectively.

 

Management’s Plans

 

The Company believes, based on its current operating plan, that anticipated revenues from operations and borrowings available under the existing line of credit will be sufficient to fund its operations and working capital requirements through the next twelve months.  The Company’s current operating plan includes opening up to seven additional new stores in 2005, including the one new store that the Company opened since the end of fiscal 2004.  In the event that the Company’s operating plan changes or proves inaccurate due to decreased revenues, unanticipated expenses, increased competition, unfavorable economic conditions or other unforeseen circumstances, the Company’s liquidity may be negatively impacted.  Accordingly, the Company would be required to adjust its expenditures in 2005 to conserve working capital or raise additional capital to fund operations.  There can be no assurance, however, that, should the Company require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.

 

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions and balances.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues include the selling price of party goods sold, net of returns and discounts, and are recognized at the point of sale.  The Company estimates returns based upon historical return rates and such amounts have not been significant.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company purchases its inventory from a diverse group of vendors and is not overly dependent upon any single source for its merchandise, often using more than one vendor for similar kinds of products.

 

Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from credit card companies and vendors for inventory rebates.  Management does not provide for doubtful accounts as such amounts have not been significant to date; the Company does not require collateral.

 

F-7



 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Outstanding Checks and Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market accounts and are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

 

The Company uses controlled disbursement banking arrangements as part of its cash management program.  Outstanding checks, which were included in accounts payable, totaled $950,156 at December 25, 2004 and $989,816 at December 27, 2003.  The Company had sufficient funds available to fund the outstanding checks when they were presented for payment.

 

Restricted cash represents money deposited in blocked accounts established for the benefit of and under the control of Wells Fargo Retail Finance II, LLC, the Company’s lender under its line of credit, and constitutes collateral for amounts outstanding under the Company’s line of credit.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The fair value of borrowings under its line of credit approximates carrying value because the debt bears interest at a variable market rate.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of party supplies and are valued at the lower of moving weighted-average cost or market.  Inventory has been reduced by an allowance for obsolete and excess inventory, which is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future sales.  The Company records vendor rebates, discounts and certain other adjustments to inventory, including freight costs, and these amounts are recognized in the income statement as the related goods are sold.

 

The Company also makes adjustments to reduce the value of its inventory for an allowance for obsolete and excess inventory, which is based on its review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future sales.

 

In 2003, the Company refined its methodology for accounting for vendor rebates, discounts and freight.  The net impact of these adjustments increased pre-tax income by $141,757, net income by $125,455 and had no impact on net income per basic and diluted share.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed upon first showing.  Advertising costs amounted to $3,174,446, $2,706,596, and $2,705,330 for the years ended December 25, 2004, December 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively.

 

Deferred Rent

 

Certain operating lease agreements contain scheduled rent increases, which are being amortized over the terms of the agreements using the straight-line method, and are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  Deferred rent was $471,759 at December 25, 2004 and $406,209 at December 27, 2003.

 

F-8



 

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Net income per basic share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the common share equivalents of Series B-F preferred stock.  The common share equivalents of Series B-F are included in the calculation of net income per basic share in accordance with EITF Topic D-95, Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share, since the preferred stockholders are entitled to participate in dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors.  For the periods with net losses, the Company excludes those common share equivalents since their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

Net income per diluted share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the common share equivalents of Series A-F preferred stock, plus the common share equivalents of the “in the money” stock options and warrants as computed by the treasury method.  For the periods with net losses, the Company excludes those common share equivalents since their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of net income (loss) per basic and diluted share available to common stockholders:

Stock Option Compensation Expense

 

The Company accounts for its stock option compensation agreements with employees under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123.

 

The Company has computed the value of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model prescribed by SFAS No. 123.  The weighted-average fair value of the options granted was $0.73 per share in 2004, $0.38 per share

 

F-9



 

during 2003 and $0.29 per share during 2002, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:  no dividend yield, volatility of 116% to 119% in 2004, 119% to 125% in 2003, and 125% in 2002, a risk-free interest rate of 2.71% to 4.00% in 2004, 2.13% to 3.51% in 2003 and 4.86% to 5.95% in 2002, and an expected life of five years from date of the grant.  Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plan consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share and net income (loss) available to common stockholders and net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders would have been the following pro forma amounts:

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  At the beginning of fiscal 2004 the Company adopted a new policy for estimating the useful life of fixed assets which extended the useful life of equipment and furniture and fixtures.  Changing the estimated life of the assets in these categories as of the beginning of the year reduced depreciation expense by approximately $130,885.  Net income in 2004 would have been $0.02 per basic and diluted share if this change in estimating the useful life of fixed assets had not been adopted.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  A listing of the estimated useful life of the various categories of property and equipment is as follows:

 

Asset Classification

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of term of lease or 10 years

 

Furniture and fixtures

F-10



 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, in fiscal 2002, which requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51 (“FIN 46”).  FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.  FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003.  For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003.  However, in October 2003, the FASB deferred the effective date of FIN 46 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 for those arrangements involving special purpose entities entered into prior to February 1, 2003.  All other arrangements within the scope of FIN 46 are subject to its provisions beginning in 2004.  The Company adopted FIN 46, as required, with no material impact to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.  Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123.  However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

 

SFAS 123(R) must be adopted by the Company no later than July 1, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued.  The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123(R) on July 1, 2005.

 

SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

 

      A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

 

      A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

 

The Company has not yet determined which method it will use.

 

As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options.  Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position.  The impact of adoption of SFAS 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.  However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net loss and net loss per share discussed above.

4.  LEASES:

 

The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities with certain leased equipment accounted for as operating and capital leases.  Real estate leases generally provide for fixed minimum rentals, which typically increase periodically during the life of the lease, and, in some instances, contingent rentals based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified minimum sales levels, as well as occupancy costs, such as property taxes and common area maintenance.  The leases are typically for 10 years, usually with options from the Company’s landlords to renew the Company’s leases for an additional 5 or 10 years.

 

The original cost of assets under capital leases at December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 was $1,321,161 and $289,737, respectively. The accumulated depreciation of assets under capital leases at December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 was $132,631 and $286,847, respectively.  The amortization related to those assets under capital lease is included in depreciation expense.

 

At December 25, 2004 the minimum rental commitments under all non-cancelable capital and operating leases with initial or remaining terms of more than one year were as follows:

7.  CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS:

 

License Arrangement

 

On July 8, 1999, the Company entered into a product fulfillment agreement with Taymark, a direct marketer of party supplies, to utilize the direct marketer’s inventory and fulfillment services to deliver merchandise ordered on the Company’s website, or directly through a toll-free telephone number, to consumers.

 

On July 8, 2003 the Company signed a new agreement with Taymark to license the iParty.com name to Taymark, which now operates the website at www.iparty.com.  In return, Taymark pays the Company a 15% royalty on all net sales realized through its operation of www.iparty.com.  The term of this agreement is for a period of two (2) years, unless sooner terminated.  If this agreement is not terminated, it shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods.

 

Earn-out agreement

 

The Company purchased from The Big Party, Debtor and Debtor-in-Possession (the “sellers”) in 2000 inventory, fixed assets and the leases of 33 retail stores in consideration of cash and assumption of certain liabilities.  In addition, the Company agreed to pay the sellers, no later than March 31, 2004, an amount equivalent to the greater of $250,000, or a percentage of the aggregate operating results of the 33 acquired locations.  In connection with the Company’s purchase accounting in 2000, the Company accrued the guaranteed amount of $250,000, which based on actual results is the minimum and final amount due as of December 27, 2003, and paid this amount during the first quarter of 2004.

 

8.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

 

On August 26, 1999 the Company granted Mr. Sal Perisano, its Chief Executive Officer, options to purchase an aggregate of 434,730 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan with an exercise price of $2.00, which was below the then-current market price of $3.38.  As of December 29, 2001 all such options had vested.  These options were fully expensed as of December 29, 2001.  The Company charged $273,971 related to this stock option grant to stock option compensation expense in 2001, the final year of vesting.

 

On September 7, 1999, the Company and Mr. Stuart Moldaw, who served as a Director of the Company from 1999 to 2003, entered into a consulting agreement that had a term of three years.  Upon the expiration of this agreement, the Company and Mr. Moldaw entered into an oral agreement that Mr. Moldaw would continue to provide consulting services to the Company.  On November 6, 2003 the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock option grant to Mr. Moldaw, vesting immediately, with the strike price set at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that day, to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock, for consulting services performed by Mr. Moldaw in 2003.  The fair value of the options granted to Mr. Moldaw on November 6, 2003 was $25,000.  On January 31, 2005 the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock option grant to Mr. Moldaw, vesting immediately, with the strike price set at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that day, to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock, for consulting services performed by Mr. Moldaw in 2004.  The fair value of the options granted on January 31, 2005 was $28,500.  The committee approved this grant, but noted that Mr. Moldaw would not receive any additional stock option grants for consulting services in the future.

 

9.  LINE OF CREDIT:

 

On January 2, 2004 the Company amended its existing line of credit (“the line”) with Wells Fargo Retail Finance II, LLC.  The amendment extended the maturity date of the line to January 2, 2007, eliminated the minimum interest rate of 6.5%, established a new interest rate at the bank’s base rate plus 50 basis points and added the option to increase the line in increments of $2,500,000 beyond the previous limit of $7,500,000, to a limit of $12,500,000, upon 15 days written notice, as long as the Company is in compliance of all debt covenants and the provisions of the loan agreement.  Inventory and accounts receivable secure the Company’s line.

 

F-14



 

The amended agreement includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum availability under the line of 5% of the credit limit, which at the current limit of $7,500,000, is $375,000.  If the Company adjusts the credit limit in the future, the minimum availability would be 5% of the adjusted credit limit.  The amended agreement also has a covenant that requires the Company to limit its capital expenditures to within 110% of those amounts included in its business plan, which may be updated from time to time. At December 25, 2004, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.  The line generally prohibits the payment of any dividends or other distributions to any of the Company’s classes of capital stock.

 

At December 27, 2003 the line had a maturity date of July 31, 2004 and a minimum interest rate of 6.5%.  The line allowed for borrowings equal to the lesser of $7,500,000 or the borrowing base, as defined.  Inventory and other assets secured the line.  The Company was required to maintain a minimum availability under the line in the amount of $300,000.

 

The amounts outstanding under the line as of December 25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 were $5,257,690 and $3,760,671, respectively.  The interest rate on these borrowings was 5.75% at December 25, 2004 and 6.5% at December 27, 2003.  The outstanding balances under the line are classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets since the Company is required to apply daily lock box receipts to reduce the amount outstanding.  At December 25, 2004, the Company had approximately $305,000 of additional availability under the line.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company established a letter of credit for $356,000 with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. associated with the leasing of its new point-of-sale system.  This $356,000 letter of credit was outstanding at December 25, 2004.

 

The Company made cash payments for interest of $218,765 in 2004, $217,268 in 2003, and $285,515 in 2002.

On October 31, 2002, the Company concluded it had incorrectly applied the anti-dilution provisions of its Series B, C and D convertible preferred stock (the “Affected Preferred Stock”) in conjunction with dilutive financings in August and September 2000.  The Company determined that it inadvertently issued additional shares of Affected Preferred Stock, instead of adjusting the Affected Preferred Stock’s conversion ratios.  The Company also miscalculated the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the Affected Preferred Stock.  As a result of the above transactions, the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s Series E and Series F convertible preferred stock were also triggered, increasing the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s Series E and Series F convertible preferred stock.

 

See Note 16 for additional information on this subject.

The Company has reserved 38,656,458 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with the conversion of convertible preferred stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options.

 

13.  STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN:

 

The Company has a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Plan”) effective November 9, 2001.  Under the Plan each share of the Company’s capital stock outstanding at the close of business on November 9, 2001 and each share of the Company’s capital stock issued subsequent to that date has a right associated with it, such that each share of its

 

F-19



 

common stock is entitled to one right and each share of its preferred stock is entitled to such number of rights equal to the number of common shares into which it is convertible.

 

The rights are exercisable only in the event, with certain exceptions, an acquiring party accumulates 10 percent or more of the Company’s voting stock, or if a party announces an offer to acquire 15 percent or more of the Company’s voting stock.  The rights expire on November 9, 2011.

 

When exercisable, each right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company, one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of Series G junior preferred stock at an initial purchase price of $2.00.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, holders of the rights will be entitled to purchase either iParty Corp. stock or shares in an “acquiring entity” at half of market value.  The Company generally will be entitled to redeem the rights at $0.001 per right at any time until the date on which a 10 percent position in its voting stock is acquired by any person or group.  Until a right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive dividends.

 

14.  PROFIT SHARING 401(k) PLAN:

 

The iParty 401(k) Plan is a qualified profit sharing plan covering substantially all of its employees.  Contributions to this plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The Company’s expense, including matching contributions and any discretionary amounts was $111,799 in 2004, $95,405 in 2003 and $88,532 in 2002.

 

15.  SEGMENT REPORTING:

 

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the way business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders.

 

In the past the Company had determined that its reportable segments consisted of a retail stores operation and an Internet operation.  As of 2003, with the transition of the Internet operation to a license arrangement and the insignificance of the revenues prior to the transition (less than 2%) and results of operations (less than 5%) to the overall business, the Company no longer reports Internet operating segment information.

 

16.  SPECIAL CHARGE:

 

On October 31, 2002, the Company concluded it had incorrectly applied the anti-dilution provisions of its Series B, C and D convertible preferred stock (the “Affected Preferred Stock”) in conjunction with dilutive financings in August and September 2000.

 

The Company determined that it inadvertently issued additional shares of Affected Preferred Stock, instead of adjusting the Affected Preferred Stock’s conversion ratios.  The Company also miscalculated the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the Affected Preferred Stock.

 

The Company also reviewed the anti-dilution provisions of certain of its warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in conjunction with the Affected Preferred Stock (the “Affected Warrants”), and has determined that it mistakenly issued additional warrant certificates, instead of adjusting the Affected Warrants’ conversion ratios.  The warrant calculations also mistakenly omitted the dilutive effect of a warrant issued by the Company in December 1999.

 

The Company performed the calculations to compute the correct number of shares of Affected Preferred Stock and Affected Warrants that should be issued and outstanding as of December 28, 2002, along with the appropriate conversion ratios in effect at December 28, 2002.  The Company notified each holder of Affected Preferred Stock as of December 2, 2002.  The Company also instructed its transfer agent to apply any Affected Stock conversions using the corrected ratios and prices.  The Company has presented its earnings per share and all footnotes information for 2002, in accordance with the corrected information.  The accounting implications of this situation are as follows:

 

F-20



 

                  Beginning in September 2000, the Company believed and treated holders of Affected Preferred Stock as if they were entitled to approximately 2.3 million more common shares upon conversion of their Affected Preferred Stock than they were in fact entitled to.  Of this overstated amount, 590,327 common shares were issued upon conversions of shares of Affected Preferred Stock and sold in the public market (the “Overissued Shares”) beginning in October 2000.  On October 31, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors ratified the issuance of the Overissued Shares.

 

                  Beginning in September 2000, the Company believed and treated holders of Affected Warrants as if they were entitled to 116,291 fewer common shares upon exercise of their Affected Warrants than they were in fact entitled to.  None of the Affected Warrants have been exercised as of March 21, 2005.

 

The impact of these matters did not require the Company to make any changes to its previously reported earnings per share.  The impact of the common stock equivalents did not affect quarterly or annual loss per diluted share, since such the inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.  The impact of common stock equivalents did not impact quarterly net income per diluted share in such periods of profit, given the minimal amount of net income in comparison to the weighted-average shares outstanding.

 

The Company recorded a special charge for the year ended December 28, 2002 in the amount of $396,465, which included a non-cash charge of $171,465 for the recognition of the Overissued Shares, and $225,000 of professional fees incurred through December 28, 2002.

 

The Company also recorded a beneficial conversion dividend in the amount of $90,150 in the fourth quarter of 2002, which reflects the impact of anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion ratios of the Series E and F convertible preferred stock.

 

In 2004 the Company reached a settlement with a third party in connection with the special charge previously recorded in fiscal year 2002.  The Company recorded the net settlement of $382,500 as other income.
