Item 4.02              Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

(a)           On November 10, 2015, Retractable Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), together with its Audit Committee, concluded that investors should no longer rely on the previously issued unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (the “Affected Periods”) in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2015 (the “Original Report”).  The Company reached its conclusion after discussion with its Audit Committee and a joint discussion with its independent registered public accounting firm.  The Company also identified a material weakness in its internal controls as of June 30, 2015.  The Company is taking steps to remediate this weakness.

 

The Company will restate its previously issued unaudited condensed financial statements for the Affected Periods and related notes and other disclosures on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 and file such Form 10-Q/A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible.  Additionally, the Company currently anticipates that it will be in a position to timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015.

 

In the course of preparing the condensed financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company discovered an error in the total amount of raw materials in the detailed subsidiary ledger as of June 30, 2015.  The Company’s raw materials subsidiary ledger is in a spreadsheet format.  Such error resulted from an incorrect summation of individual inventory amounts in the spreadsheet.  This resulted in the recording of incorrect raw materials and cost of goods sold amounts in the Company’s general ledger which was used to prepare the unaudited condensed financial statements in the Original Report.  Consequently, raw materials inventories were understated by $596,000 as of June 30, 2015 and cost of goods sold was overstated by $596,000 for the Affected Periods.

 

The Audit Committee and management of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
