8-K: PHLC Fires Marcum & Kliegman; To Spin Off Affiiate [delay d] B: 8-K: PHLC Fires Marcum & Kliegman; To Spin Off Affiiate [delayed]
Ridgeland, MS, JUL 10, 2003 (EventX/Knobias.com via COMTEX) -- Phlo Corporation (OTCBB: PHLC) filed an 8-K on 7/10, in which the Company reported that on July 2, 2003, it dismissed Marcum & Kliegman LLP as its independent accountant.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, there were no disagreements with M&K on any matter of accounting principles or practices.
M&K's reports on the Company's financial statements for fiscal years 2002 and 2001 included a going-concern opinion, in which M&K reported that the Company's financial statements had been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and that the Company's financial condition raised substantial doubt at the time each report was issued about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to spin-off the portion of its business that involves the development and commercialization of biotechnologies capable of being incorporated into primarily liquid products (for oral consumption) and foods, the manufacturing and marketing of products resulting therefrom, and the licensing or sublicensing of other biotechnologies.
The Company anticipates that the spin-off will be accomplished by the distribution to Company shareholders of capital stock of an affiliated company.
The assets of the affiliated company that the Company intends to spin-off shall include, but may not be limited to, all rights pursuant to an exclusive license for all uses (including nutraceutical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical), worldwide, of an invention, and all enhancements thereto, related to VEP/PPC (Vitamin E phosphate/polyenylphosphatidylcholine) in a micro-particle delivery system; all intellectual property related to the Aquis Oral Rehydration Solution; biotechnology related to modified pectin liposomal products and its possible use as a cancer treatment; and biotechnology related to insulin liposomal products and its possible use as a treatment for diabetes.
The Company believes that the proposed spin-off will provide greater value to shareholders by creating two public corporate entities that focus on separate scientific platforms and businesses.
In addition, the spin-off will allow the management of each company to better focus on the individual businesses of the respective companies and facilitate the establishment of executive compensation that is more closely tied to the performance of each individual company's results.
Finally, the Company believes that the proposed spin-off will enhance each company's access to financing.
