You do own a 100 lot of AhRheemYaSoft doncha?!?: "AremisSoft Fires Auditor PKF After Reports Disavowed (Update2) 2002-01-29 18:22 (New York) AremisSoft Fires Auditor PKF After Reports Disavowed (Update2) (Adds AremisSoft seeking new auditor in fifth paragraph.) Washington, Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- AremisSoft Corp. fired its outside auditor, PKF, a month after the firm disavowed its audit reports on the business-management software maker's financial statements because of accounting questions. Minneapolis-based AremisSoft has said it expects to restate past results because it can't confirm $90 million of revenue reported last year by its Emerging Markets Group. PKF, formerly known as Pannell Kerr Forster, said last month its reports affirming AremisSoft's 1999 and 2000 financial statements shouldn't be relied upon by investors. The auditor's disavowal was one of a series of blows against the company, beset by investor lawsuits and government investigations. AremisSoft also announced 150 job cuts last month, and its shares have fallen to 83 cents, down 3 cents today. AremisSoft's board, on the recommendation of its audit committee, ``determined to dismiss'' PKF Jan. 23, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No replacement was named in the filing. A spokeswoman said the company is still conducting a search. She declined to comment further about PKF's dismissal. Aside from the disavowal, ``to the knowledge of current management of AremisSoft, there were no disagreements'' with PKF that would have resulted in an adverse audit report the past two years, the filing said. The company is requesting PKF to furnish a letter affirming that statement. AremisSoft has dismissed PKF at least once before. While preparing to go public, the company replaced the firm with Ernst & Young in May 1998. Then AremisSoft hired back PKF in December the same year, before completing its initial public offering in April 1999, according to SEC filings. While AremisSoft didn't name a new auditor in today's filing, the company hired Deloitte & Touche LLP forensic accountants to assist in its internal investigation of the overseas operations beginning last August, according to the filing. The subjects of the probe include operations in Cyprus and a contract with the Bulgarian national health system, for which PKF was able to confirm only $1.7 million of $7.1 million in revenue recognized by AremisSoft. Officials at London-based PKF couldn't be reached for comment. --John Rega in Washington (202) 624-1907 or jrega@bloomberg.net Editor: Arthur Story Illustration: To chart the performance of AremisSoft shares against broader markets: {AREM US <Equity> COMP <GO>}.
