ITEM 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Delisting Rule; Transfer of Listing

 

On September 20, 2005, the Company notified NASDAQ staff that the Company has failed to timely file its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 (the “10-Q”) and accordingly, it is not in compliance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Accordingly, it is potentially subject to delisting. Flow’s trading symbol will be amended from “FLOW” to “FLOWE” to reflect the Company’s filing delinquency. Upon the filing of its 10-Q, the Company expects to be in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ and accordingly expects the trading symbol to be changed back to “FLOW”.

 

In conjunction with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s inspection of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“IRPAF”), the IRPAF has advised that it continues to complete required audit procedures in connection with the 2005 financial statements. Until the IRPAF has completed these procedures and the 2005 financial statements are restated, the Company will not be in a position to file the 10-Q for the first quarter.

 

ITEM 4.02  Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements on Previously Issued Financial Statement or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

 

The Company and its audit committee, after consultation with its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“IRPAF”), determined on September 20, 2005 that it will restate its financial results for the year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of an error related to the valuation of anti-dilution warrants issued to the Company’s lenders on March 21, 2005. The warrants were issued as a result of the issuance of securities in a PIPE transaction. The amount of the restatement, which will result in a non-cash adjustment, is estimated to be approximately $600,000 and will increase the Company’s paid-in capital and net loss for the year ended April 30, 2005. The restatement for these warrants will not have any effect on net shareholders’ equity as of April 30, 2005.
