Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Reclassification and Restatement

Our previously issued consolidated financial statements for year ended September 30, 2016 have been reclassified and restated.

 

Classification of Marquis line of credit with both a subjective acceleration clause and lock box arrangement was not properly classified as a current liability according to ASC 470. The Company determined that $222,590 of long-term debt should have been classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Characterization of deposits (advance payments) on the purchase of Marquis carpet manufacturing equipment and the related cash flow presentation (operating vs. investing) in the statement of cash flows was an error and not presented correctly. The Company determined that cash from operations was understated and cash used in investing were understated by $1,816,855 in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Deferred income tax liabilities related to the Marquis Industries, Inc (“Marquis”) acquisition were not reflected in the final purchase accounting. The Company also had unrecorded deferred tax assets relating to non-qualified stock options and restricted stock from fiscal years 2013-2016, which would have been fully reserved until the valuation allowance was released in 2016 as a result of the purchase of Marquis. In addition, the pre-tax net income on the tax provision did not agree to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K primarily attributable to the adjustments made to the bargain purchase gain. As a result of these errors, the Company determined that the bargain purchase gain was overstated, and deferred tax benefit was understated by $3,074,623 in the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the components of deferred taxes that were misstated are within Note 17 – Income Taxes.

 

Management has evaluated the impact of the above referenced errors. The impact on our previously issued Form 10-Q’s for quarters ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 are as follows, in error and will be amended to reflect the following changes:

Conversion features on convertible notes and related warrants issued in 2012, 2013 and 2014 required bifurcation and derivative liability accounting due to the down round protection features included within the agreements in accordance with ASC 815. On December 22, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to remove the down round provisions for the convertible notes and warrants. As a result of these errors, the Company determined that accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital were understated by $6,238,516 in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in stockholder’s equity.

 

We reclassified $10,738 from Series E Preferred Stock to additional paid in capital.
