BN Saf-T-Lok Sees Possible Restatement, Discloses SEC Inquiry Jul 21 1998 14:38 Saf-T-Lok Sees Possible Restatement, Discloses SEC Inquiry Washington, July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Saf-T-Lok Inc. said the company may restate first-quarter earnings and disclosed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking company documents as part of an informal inquiry. Independent auditors for the Tequesta, Florida, company have ``expressed concern' regarding the valuation of warrants to purchase 2 million Saf-T-Lok common shares at $5 each, according to a Saf-T-Lok news release. The company said it issued the warrants in connection with a February, 1998, distribution agreement with United Safety Action Inc. Saf-T-Lok employed an alternative to the widely-used Black- Scholes model to assign a value of $473,525 to the warrant package, the news release said. The company is accounting for the warrants by deducting their value from quarterly earnings over a three-year period. The company has hired an independent expert to consult with its auditors on the value of the warrants. If they assign a different value to the warrants, Saf-T-Lok may have to adjust the amount deducted from earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, according to the news release. ``The company does not believe that restatement of the first quarter financial statements, if required, will affect its cash position or have a material adverse effect on its current operations,' Saf-T-Lok said. Meanwhile, the SEC has asked Saf-T-Lok to produce documents on a voluntary basis concerning the company's business and securities. Saf-T-Lok officials couldn't be reached for further comment. Saf-T-Lok produces two safety locking devices that preclude a weapon from being fired by an unauthorized user. The devices use a coded, touch-oriented mechanism that engages the safety.
