Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a
Continued Listing Rule or Standards; Transfer of Listings.
On December 12, 2012, KIT digital, Inc.
(the "Company") received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ OMX Group ("NASDAQ")
stating that the Company’s common stock would be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market effective at the opening of business
on December 21, 2012 upon NASDAQ filing a Form 25-NSE Notification of Delisting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Trading of the Company’s common stock is currently subject to a trading halt, which the Company does not expect to be lifted
prior to the delisting of the common stock.
The delisting of the Company’s common
stock is being precipitated by the Company’s failure to make timely payment of certain listing fees, as required by NASDAQ
Listing Rules 5250(f) and 5910(b)(1). The Company made the determination not to pay the fee based on its current circumstances
and outlook, which include: (1) the previously disclosed listing violation (described below), (2) likely delisting in
early 2013 due to its failure to hold a 2012 annual meeting, and (3) the possible failure to become compliant in SEC reporting
in sufficient time to avoid delisting. The Company does not intend to request an appeal hearing regarding NASDAQ’s
delisting determination.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 10, 2012, the Company received a deficiency notice from NASDAQ informing
the Company that it was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the Company’s inability to timely
file its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012 (the "3rd Quarter Form 10-Q"). The Company’s inability
to file the 3rd Quarter Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period was because of the Company’s previously announced restatement
of certain historical financial statements.
The Company previously disclosed that it
intended to submit a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s requirements for continued listing. In light of the delisting
notification and the Company’s decision not to appeal the delisting, the Company will not submit a plan of compliance to
the NASDAQ.
The Company currently intends to submit
an application in order for the Company’s common stock to be listed on the
OTC Pink Sheets/OTC
Pink Marketplace
, including submission of a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Form 211.
The Company’s common stock would begin trading on the
OTC Pink Sheets/OTC Pink Marketplace
following approval by FINRA’s OTC Compliance Unit of the Company’s Form 211 and at least one market maker deciding
to quote the Company¹s common stock. The
OTC Pink Sheets/OTC Pink Marketplace
is a market tier operated by the OTC Market Group Inc. for over-the-counter traded companies. The delisting and transition
to the
OTC Pink Sheets/OTC Pink Marketplace
does not change the Company’s obligations
to file periodic and other reports with the SEC under applicable federal securities laws. There is no assurance
that the OTC Compliance Unit will approve the Company’s Form 211 in view of the pending restatement of the Company's financial
statements or that any market maker will decide to quote the Company’s common stock following delisting by NASDAQ or at all,
and thus there is no assurance that the Company’s common stock will become eligible to trade on the
OTC
Pink Sheets/OTC Pink Marketplace.
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountants.
On December 17, 2012,
the Audit Committee dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm.
The
previously issued report of Grant Thornton on the Company’s financial statements for each of the years ended December
31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and neither was
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
As
previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 2012, the Audit
Committee concluded that, because of errors and irregularities identified in certain of its historical financial statements,
the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 will be restated and should no longer be
relied upon.
During the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and during the period from January 1, 2012 through the date of this report, the
Company had: (i) no disagreements with Grant Thornton within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, any of which that, if not
resolved to Grant Thornton’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of any such disagreement
in connection with its reports for such years and interim periods; and (ii) except as disclosed herein, no reportable events within
the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
As disclosed in the
report of Grant Thornton for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has not maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 due to a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related
to the lack of finance personnel with understanding of US GAAP to ensure that all transactions were reported in accordance with
US GAAP on a timely basis. The material weakness was disclosed in Items 8 and 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and in Item 4 of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10- Q for the quarters ended March
31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 and is disclosed therein. As of December 17, 2012, the Company’s remediation efforts with respect
to this material weakness were not complete. The Company has authorized Grant Thornton to respond fully to inquiries from successor
accountants concerning these matters.
The Company has provided
Grant Thornton with a copy of the above disclosures, and, as required by the SEC’s rules, the Company has requested that
Grant Thornton furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made
above.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously reported, the Audit Committee
initiated an investigation of certain transactions that gave rise to impairments taken by the Company during the quarter ended
June 30, 2012. The investigation, conducted by independent legal and professional advisors under the direction of the Audit Committee,
and in consultation with Grant Thornton, identified certain errors and irregularities in the Company’s historical financial
statements. The Audit Committee’s investigation with respect to these matters has concluded; however, the Company continues
to review these matters in connection with the previously announced financial statement restatement.
The accounting errors and irregularities
identified during the Audit Committee investigation relate primarily to recognition of revenue related to certain perpetual software
license agreements entered into by prior management in 2010 and 2011. The investigation concluded that the Company improperly recognized
revenue in 2010 and 2011 for perpetual software licenses where delivery of software and/or required software customization was
not completed prior to recognition of revenue; license payments had not been made on several of the licenses; and/or the companies
involved in the transactions and the circumstances of certain payments made by these companies were questionable. The timing and
circumstances of these transactions also raised questions as to whether certain of the transactions were designed to assist the
Company in reporting earnings consistent with analysts’ expectations.
The Audit Committee also concluded that
certain transactions entered into by the Company during fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2011, were related
party transactions. With respect to the related party issues, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s investments
with at least three entities – Enable Invest Ltd., Maiden Capital LLC, and MNA Partners Ltd. – should have been disclosed
as related party transactions at the time the investments were made. The Company recognized a loss on the impairment of the
Enable investment of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and recorded a $1.2 million charge related to the investment
in Maiden Capital. The Company intends to review these transactions in more detail in connection with the restatement.
The Company is engaged in an ongoing review
of the transactions that were the subject of the Audit Committee investigation as well as other similar transactions. It is possible
that the Company may conclude that additional revenue in prior periods was not recognized appropriately, including with respect
to the identified related party transactions. The Audit Committee’s conclusions relate to prior historical financial statements
and are not related to any actions taken by current directors or current officers of the Company.
