Systemax Inc. announced on May 11, 2005 that it would be restating its results for fiscal 2004 to reflect certain errors in accounting for inventory at its Tiger Direct, Inc. subsidiary. Until a Form 10-K/A reflecting such restatement is filed, the Company is not in a position to file its Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2005. As noted in a Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2005, the Companys auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, notified the Company that it will not stand for re-appointment as the Companys independent registered public accountant for the year ending December 31, 2005, stating that the client-auditor relationship would cease upon the Companys filing its Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The Company anticipates that the need to engage new auditors will continue to delay the announcement of its financial results and filing of its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three quarters of fiscal year 2005.
