PART III. NARRATIVE
Glowpoint, Inc. has determined that it is unable to file its Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005 by the March 31, 2006 due date or by April
15, 2006 and, accordingly, Glowpoint is not requesting the fifteen-day extension
permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Glowpoint's restatement and re-audit
On June 2, 2005, we dismissed our independent accounting firm, BDO
Seidman LLP, for geographic reasons, and retained the independent accounting
firm of Eisner LLP. In the course of its initial assessment of our December 31,
2004 balance sheet, Eisner raised certain issues relating to property and
equipment. Our internal accounting team looked into the matter and subsequently
concluded, on a preliminary basis, that the costs associated with certain
purchases of videoconferencing equipment for resale and certain other operating
costs that represented cost of revenue had erroneously been capitalized as
property and equipment.
These preliminary conclusions were discussed at a meeting of our board of
directors on July 21, 2005. At that meeting, our Audit Committee determined to
undertake an independent investigation of the matter. Following that meeting,
our internal accounting team conducted a further review of the audited financial
statements for 2002 through 2004 and held several discussions with our former
CFO. Based on these discussions, on August 2, 2005, we concluded that our
financial statements for fiscal years 2002 through 2004 (and the related
quarters) and the quarter ended March 31, 2005 needed to be restated and should
no longer be relied upon.
We requested that BDO Seidman audit our restated consolidated financial
statements for fiscal years 2002 through 2004 and review our condensed
consolidated financial statements for the applicable inclusive interim periods
and the quarter ended March 31, 2005, BDO Seidman declined. We have recently
completed the restatement of our audited consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended. We have also recently completed
the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
the interim periods within 2004 and for the first quarter of 2005.
Our internal accounting team is working diligently to complete our fiscal
2005 results but because we have been devoting our time and resources to the
restatement of fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, we will be unable to
file our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 on a timely basis or
within the 15-day grace period. In addition, restating financial statements for
fiscal years 2002 and 2003 will require significant additional time and
resources, primarily because of the following reasons:
o During 2003, we completed the sale of our VS equipment business to Gores.
As part of the sale, we transferred four data communication servers which
contained various documents and audit support workpapers associated with
the books and records of the VS business for all periods prior to the sale.
We did not retain backups of the information on those servers and we just
recently received data downloads from such servers. Gores was only able to
locate three of the four servers transferred.
o We may not be able to quantify inventory in periods prior to 2004.
Effective with the sale to Gores, we no longer owned any inventory and BDO
Seidman was the only auditor who observed the physical inventory counts
that affect those periods. To date we have not been able to verify such
inventory amounts, which will be necessary in order to complete a
restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2003. We will take all available actions to gain
access to the BDO Seidman workpapers.
o Without further time and resources, we cannot ensure that the resolution of
the above items will enable us to restate fiscal years 2002 and 2003 on a
timely basis or at all.
