LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CyberDefender Corporation (Nasdaq:CYDE) (the "Company"), a provider of Internet security software, utilities and remote technical support services that work together to maximize online safety for consumers, today announced that it plans to file an amended annual report on form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2009 and amended quarterly reports on form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods of 2009 and the periods ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The reports are being amended for the purpose of disclosing adjustments made to the Company's financial statements, as discussed below. As a result of its decision to restate the Company's financial statements and amend the reports, the Company is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 until the foregoing amendments and restatements are filed.
These restatements and reclassifications were non-cash and had no impact on CyberDefender's gross sales, GAAP revenue, cash position or gross profit for any of the abovementioned periods, and the Company does not expect these items to have any material impact on its operating results going forward.
The purpose of the restatements will be to reclassify outstanding warrants issued pursuant to the Company's Media and Marketing Services agreement with GR Match, LLC as an operating expense rather than as an interest expense, to revalue these warrants as of their respective vesting dates, rather than their grant dates, using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model; to revalue certain warrants issued to various consultants during the periods affected; and to recognize advertising expenses as incurred rather than capitalizing and amortizing these expenses against revenue for a period of 12 months.
The Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides additional information on the revaluation and reclassification, including pro-forma unaudited amended Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations for the periods that will be restated. This filing is available at the SEC website at or the SEC Filings section of CyberDefender's corporate website at .
