Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Non-Reliance on Prev
The information in Item 4.02 below is incorporated by reference herein.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
On October 11, 2009, following a review by management, Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Angiotech") determined to restate its consolidated statements of operations to reflect the prior $650 million goodwill impairment charge taken by Angiotech in 2008 as operating expense instead of its current classification as other expense. Pending the restatement, Angiotech's consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and earnings releases and similar communications containing information from such statements of operations, should not be relied on by investors.
Angiotech's management currently expects that the restatement will have no effect on Angiotech's consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows, net loss or net loss per share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Angiotech's management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Angiotech's independent registered public accounting firm.
