Amendment DescriptionDocument Security Systems, Inc (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2011 (the “Original Quarterly Report”), to restate the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, and certain footnote disclosures thereto. The Company identified an error in the Company’s accounting treatment relating to the deferred tax liability created as a result of an acquisition in the first quarter of 2010, On February 12, 2010, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Premier Packaging Corporation for $2,000,000 in cash and 735,437 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $2,566,675 plus the assumption of liabilities at February 12, 2010. Among the various assets and liabilities acquired, the Company allocated $1,557,500 to machinery and equipment and $1,372,000 to other intangible assets. The tax basis for the machinery and equipment and other intangible assets as of the date of acquisition was zero, resulting in a deferred tax liability of $1,141,040 as a result of the acquisition. As part of the business combination accounting, the Company properly recorded the deferred tax liability that was caused by the acquisition, but erroneously reduced a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company has determined that the deferred tax liability should have been included in the business combination accounting, resulting in an additional $1,141,040 of goodwill. Also, the Company in a separate entry should have recorded a deferred tax benefit along with a reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. As a result of this determination, the Company recorded an additional deferred tax benefit and additional goodwill in the amount of $1,141,040 as of the March 31, 2010 and subsequent periods. The correction of this error had no impact on previously disclosed revenue, cost of sales, gross profit, operating expenses and other income and expense. Additionally, this error had no impact on net loss for the interim periods ended June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011. See footnote 11 included in the accompanying financial statements for more information regarding the restatement.
