I believe your guess is correct. Under normal circumstances, a company being bought has their books audited by the buyer before they complete the purchase so this can be avoided and a true purchase price determined. Was this done here? I don't know.
If this results in a substantial change in the books, there could be some serious liability involved. I would also wonder about the recent share price erosion. We'll have to see what comes out of the audit.
