PART III
NARRATIVE
 
On August 7, 2012, Akorn, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that the previously issued financial statements contained in Akorn’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 should not be relied upon because of errors in those financial statements and that those financial statements would be restated to make the necessary accounting adjustments. These restatements relate to the Company’s purchase price for the acquisition of certain assets of Kilitch Drugs (India) Limited and the re-characterization of approximately $8.3 million of originally recorded purchase price as additional expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. In connection with this matter, the Company has re-evaluated its conclusions regarding the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the affected periods and determined that a material weakness existed as of March 31, 2012.  Accordingly, the Company will restate its disclosures as of March 31, 2012 to include the identification of a material weakness related to its restatement.
 
As a result of these restatements, the Company is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”). Additional time is needed for the Company to compile and analyze supporting documentation in order to complete the Form 10-Q and in order to permit the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to complete its review of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q.  The Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by August 14, 2012.

On August 7, 2012, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that the previously issued financial statements contained in Akorn’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 should not be relied upon because of errors in those financial statements and that those financial statements would be restated to make the necessary accounting adjustments. The previously disclosed $66.7 million purchase price for the acquisition of certain assets of Kilitch Drugs (India) Limited was originally recorded in the first quarter of 2012. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined that its preliminary accounting for the acquisition of certain assets of Kilitch Drugs (India) Limited needed to be corrected, as certain items that had been previously capitalized as purchase price needed to be expensed as either compensation earned from the achievement of acquisition related milestones or other acquisition costs. As a result of the restatement Akorn will re-characterize approximately $8.3 million of originally recorded purchase price as additional expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
In addition, the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been adjusted to correct a classification error.  The error resulted in an understatement of net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million, with a corresponding understatement of net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and an overstatement of net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million, with a corresponding overstatement of net cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.
 
The tables below present the preliminary effect of the financial statement adjustments related to the restatement of our previously reported financial statements as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and are subject to further review.  The effect of the restatement on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

In connection with this matter, the Company has re-evaluated its conclusions regarding the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting for the affected periods and determined that a material weakness existed as of March 31, 2012.  The Company had previously concluded in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 that its controls were effective as of March 31, 2012.  As a result of the material weakness, the Company has now concluded that such controls were ineffective.  Accordingly, the Company will restate its disclosures as of March 31, 2012 to include the identification of a material weakness related to its restatement.  The Company is actively engaged in remediating the material weakness.
 
As a result of these factors, the Company expects that the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will reflect a change in the results of operations from the fiscal quarter and three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
Because of the additional time required to finalize the necessary accounting corrections which will impact the periods to be presented therein, the Company does not expect to complete the preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 within the prescribed time period for the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company expects to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by August 14, 2012.
