Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
The Company determined that, as of December 03, 2007, its financial statements
for December 31, 2002 through March 31, 2007 may be inaccurate due to unrecorded
financial issues related to Xechem (India) Pvt.; Ltd. ("Xechem India"), which it
has historically reported as a 2/3 owned subsidiary, engaged to assist the
Company in its drug development efforts, among other things. The Company has
been unable to locate any documentation establishing the 2/3 ownership of the
subsidiary, as previously certified by its former CEO, Dr. Ramesh Pandey.
Therefore, these financial statements should not be relied upon. It should be
noted that the Company has not engaged in any active operations of the
subsidiary since Dr. Pandey's departure as CEO. In addition, the Company has
instituted suit in India against Dr. Pandey and others named as shareholders in
the last public filing made by Xechem India seeking among other things, a
declaration as to ownership of India, an accounting of its expenditures, right
to review books and records and appropriate relief should expenditures have not
been made for the benefit of the Company. The court has provided that the
Company has a right to see the books and records of Xechem India and the Company
intends to continue the litigation until further determinations can be made.
The financial statements may require restatement if it is determined that the
Company did not own any of Xechem India. The Company has advised its independent
accountants of this development.
