Non-Reliance on Previous Financials, Audits or Interim Review, Change in D
During the annual audit for the year ended December 31, 2008, Z Trim Holdings, Inc.'s (the "Company") management and Board of Directors were advised by its auditor of record, M&K CPAS, PLLC, that the Company's financial statements contained within the Company's 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, and September 30, 2008, and 10-Ks for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, contain misstatements regarding our depreciation expense for leasehold improvements, a non-cash item on the income statement and that such previously filed quarterly and yearly financial statements should no longer be relied upon, as previously presented. This understatement in this depreciation expense has the effect of overstating both income and certain asset values on a quarterly and yearly basis. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, we estimate that our net assets were overstated by approximately $950,000 and $1,300,000, respectively. For that same period we estimate that our net loss was understated by approximately $325,000 and $350,000, respectively.
The Company intends to file its 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 with restated audited December 31, 2007 financial statements. The Company intends to file a subsequent amendment to its December 31, 2008 10-K to include unaudited restatements of the year ended December 31, 2006 and quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, and September 30, 2008 in addition to the aforementioned restatement of the year ended December 31, 2007.
