SANUWAVE Health, Inc. has determined that its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2024 and unaudited statements for all quarters in 2024 and 2025 can no longer be relied upon due to unrecorded sales and use tax liabilities. The company expects to record a significant increase in liabilities and expenses following a nexus study that identified historical tax obligations.
Red Flags
- Non-reliance on multiple years of previously issued audited and unaudited financial statements.
- Significant unrecorded tax liabilities ($4.9M-$5.2M) relative to typical micro-cap balance sheets.
- Potential identification of new material weaknesses in internal controls.
- The issue spans the tenure of both current (Baker Tilly) and former (Marcum) auditors.
