The audit committee identified a material weakness in technical accounting review controls related to complex warrant instruments and financing transactions. Basic and diluted EPS were overstated by $0.8 to $2.19 per share because of errors in applying the two-class method for undistributed earnings. The company plans to file a restated Form 10-Q/A and is implementing remediation measures, including enhanced accounting review procedures."
