FTS Group to Restate Financial Statements Beginning With Its Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2005 and All Subsequent Quarterly Filings Due to Non Cash Reclassification of Warrants
| Source: FTS Group, Inc.
TAMPA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 7, 2006 -- FTS Group, Inc. (OTCBB : FLIP ), an acquisition and
development Company, today announced that after a review of its prior
financial statements management has concluded that it must restate its
prior financial statements beginning with its 2005 Form 10-KSB and all
subsequent quarterly filings through the third quarter of this year due to
a reclassification of warrants issued in December of 2005.
FTS Chairman and CEO Scott Gallagher stated, "The issue that has generated
the reclassification of non cash warrants and the necessary restatement is
related to the financing closed in December of 2005. At the time we did not
have enough authorized shares to issue shares underlying all of the
warrants if hypothetically, the warrants had been exercised prior to our
request to increase our authorized shares being approved. Even though no
investors requested any warrant exercises or communicated any intent to
exercise, the SEC has taken the
position that we still need to reclassify the treatment of the warrants.
Therefore we will be restating our 2005 Form 10-KSB for the period ended
December 31, 2005, our Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2006, our
Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2006 and finally our Form 10-QSB
for the period ended September 30, 2006. On October 20, 2006, we gained
shareholder approval to increase our authorized shares. Thus, at the end of
2006, the
warrants will be reclassified again to the previous classification. None of
these changes will have any impact on our sales or earnings in the previous
statements. We appreciate your patience as we attempt to comply with these
ever changing rules and classifications."
Investors are directed to review "Note 1" to all of the restated financials
for detailed information on the reclassification of the warrants and how
they affect the restated financials. In addition the Company would like to
remind investors that amended filings such as an 8K/A or 10K/A are
"amended" filings. They contain language from the filing at the time the
filing was made. They do not imply that unamended language is "current";
for instance if a contract was pending when an 8K was filed and signed
months later the 8K/A or "amended" filing will still have language relating
to the contract status at the time of the filing. Please carefully review
any amended SEC filings which are available for review at www.SEC.gov.
