I added the bold above, which to me Indicates this is ONE, albeit could be a large account, Account that is in question.
So resolving the issues on ONE bank account is an easy scope of work that I feel should be easy to do.

NOTE THEY are not saying the funds are not there, just that they can not confirm it, for whatever reason.

This news was probably submitted when the auditors quit in Feb. 09 because they did not get the reconciliation accounts from company. Obviously they did nothing for a whole year....why? This didn't just happen....again why no responce from Co. This is troubling to say the least.

AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Audit Report.

(b) On February 12, 2009, Mendoza Berger and Company, LLP (“M&B”), the independent auditors for Electronic Game Card, Inc. (“EGCI”), informed the EGCI Board of Directors that it had withdrawn its audit opinions for EGCI’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

M&B advised EGCI that it had become aware of irregularities in the audit confirmation of a bank account represented to M&B as having been held by Electronic Game Card (UK) Limited (“EGC Ltd”), a wholly owned subsidiary of EGCI that conducts its European operations. Based upon M&B's investigation and inability to confirm the balances in the account, M&B concluded that its prior audits could no longer be relied upon and that it was withdrawing its audit opinions related to EGCI’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 as of February 12, 2010.

Kevin Donovan, the Chief Executive Officer of ECCI, has discussed all matters described above with M&B, and has provided a copy of this Form 8-K to M&B.

EGCI intends to determine the adjustments necessary to reissue its prior financial statements, and file amended Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, and amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 as soon as practicable.
