Category: Audit Concerns
 
Event: Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP raised substantial doubt about Manaris Corp.'s ability to continue as a going concern after auditing the company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2007. The auditor pointed to the company's significant losses since inception and reliance on non-operational sources of financing to fund operations. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the company reported a $2,370,754 net loss on $18,740,561 of revenues, as compared with an $11,902,443 net loss on $10,498,505 of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2007, the company's balance sheet showed $18,193,489 in total assets, $9,458,397 in total liabilities, $23,193 in non-controlling interest, and $8,711,899 in total stockholders' equity.
