STUART, FL--(Marketwire - April 24, 2009) - Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: LBMH) announces that on April 22, 2009, the management and the Board of Directors of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. determined that the Company's financial statements contained in its Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2008, could no longer be relied upon because of duplicate posting of certain sales invoices and for failure to accrue certain expenses related to the quarter.
The problem occurred when an authorized software vendor went into the system to make routine repairs and accidentally posted sales twice. Software vendors are granted clearance routinely to make such repairs and usually do so without incidence. We have taken appropriate steps to review our computer files for any changes in the future whenever any vendor access is granted.
The dollar amount of the duplicate posting was $113,083, resulting in sales being overstated by that amount. The dollar amount of the corresponding cost of sales was $29,791, resulting in cost of sales being overstated by that amount. Net income will decrease by $131,044 with no change in earnings per share or cash flows from operations. The aforementioned numbers are believed to be accurate but are subject to change prior to re-filing.
The Board of Directors and the Company's Chief Financial Officer have discussed the restatement with the Company's registered independent accounting firm. The Company intends to amend its Report on Form 10-QSB for the three months ended December 31, 2008 within the next 10 days.
Bob Davis, CFO, said, "While the amendment has been taken very seriously, even with the adjustments, the results were still record setting with sales increasing by 26% quarter-over-quarter and by 274% year-over-year. Furthermore, after the adjustments, the Company was profitable for the quarter and there is no change in earnings per share or cash flows from operation.
"We expect to be filing the 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 on or before the due date of May 15, 2009. As we expected, sales for the second quarter are going to be higher than the same quarter last year and also higher than the first quarter 2009 sales."
