1Other LiabilitiesThe firm selected for testing a control that consisted of the issuer's review of its earnout liability which is a provision for contingent payments. The firm did not evaluate the specific review procedures the control owners performed to assess the reasonableness of the method data and assumptions used in the valuation of the earnout liability. (AS 2201.42 and .44) Unrelated to our review the issuer reevaluated its controls over its earnout liability and concluded that a material weakness existed that had not been previously identified. The issuer subsequently reflected this material weakness in a revision to its report on ICFR and the firm revised its opinion on the effectiveness of the issuer's ICFR to express an adverse opinion and reissued its report.
