puppy, the timing appears idiotic from where I sit, but I sit outside the information that caused the change.

I have been told it was not demmanded by NAS or SEC. Taking that at face value, what could prompt a company to voluntarily restate financials and fire an accountant that appeared willing to rubber stamp mistakes of applying GAAP?

That leaves three reasons that I believe could ever entice the action at the time (in decreasing order of credibility) ...

a big PIPE buyer demanded it as a condition of investment

it was ill-conceived but necessary compliance with a shareholder vote

a pending event dictated it - merger, acquisition, or instituional(ised) investor.
