Auric Goldfinger,
After the way his last remarks were misquoted, I'm not surprised that Donald Hutton hung up when reporters from Bloomberg.com attempted to question him on the phone.
What SEC Filing is being referred to? According to my AOL SEC Research site, "Edgar Plus," the last filing to the SEC by ANTS was on 12/13/99, a form 10Q with a "Document Date" of 10/31/99. In it, there was no "audited report" mentioned. It specifically says the financial statements are unaudited and prepared by the "Registrant" not by an independent accountant. Here's what was stated:
The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Registrant without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations. However, the Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Registrant's initial Form 10-SB.
In the opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Registrant for the three and six month period ended October 31, 1999 and the year ended April 30, 1999 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year."
Above the signature line, it says:
"Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereto duly authorized.
December 7, 1999
ANTS SOFTWARE.COM.

I do not see anywhere in this document where Donald Hutton is claiming to be a CPA. It specifically says the statements are "prepared without audit." So, what statement was "filed with the SEC today," ie Jan. 3, 2000? If this article is referring the the Dec. 13th filing, than it appears to be misrepresenting the information contained in that filing.
