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

On August 15, 2006, the board of directors of Heartland Oil and Gas Corp. determined that previously issued financial information for 2004 and 2005, the four quarters of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 should be restated to report:

 

1. Our Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock as a separate line item outside of permanent equity. The restatements will be consistent with guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,

 

2. A beneficial conversion feature as of the date of issuance of our Series A and Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, and the allocation of value to warrants that were attached to the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. The restatements will be consistent with guidance in EITF No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, and

 

3. The discount resulting from the allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature as a return to the preferred shareholders at the date of issuance (the date that the preferred shareholders could convert their shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis). This discount is analogous to a dividend and as such affects net loss attributable to common shareholders and net loss per share attributable to common shareholders. The restatements will be consistent with guidance in EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share.

None of these items affect revenue or cash expenses.

Accordingly, the previously issued financial statements for those years and quarters contained in our previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon. Our board of directors has discussed these matters with our independent registered public accounting firm. We will restate our 2005 and 2004 financial statements for the adjustments discussed above in connection with amending our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our March 31, 2006, Form 10-Q. We will discuss the above matters in more depth in the restated financial statements.
