Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., to Restate Previously Issued Financial Statements


STUART, Fla., Dec. 7, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:LBMH) today announced that it would restate its financial statements for the interim periods ended December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011.

During the reconciliation of the Company's annual physical inventory count at fiscal year end, the Company determined that journal entries recording the cost of goods sold each month contained errors as a result of unit of measure conversion issues for certain products. As a result, management determined that the Company's inventory balance was overstated and cost of sales were understated by $300,000 as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.

In a Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2011, the Company reported that the overstatement of inventory balances is an estimate and subject to change based upon the Company's final analysis of the adjustments, completion of its year end audit, and other procedures related to the restatements by the Company's independent registered accounting firm. The Company stated that it would conduct quarterly physical inventory evaluations for each future interim period until it implements a continuous inventory control system.
