VANCOUVER, Jun 24, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- LIVC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Live Current Media Inc. (the "Company") announced today that on June 18, 2009, it was advised by Ernst & Young, its independent registered public accounting firm, that the audit opinion dated March 24, 2009 on the Company's December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements could no longer be relied upon. The Company was further advised by Ernst & Young that there were errors in its September 30, 2008 interim consolidated financial statements, in its December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements and in its March 31, 2009 interim consolidated financial statements. Based on the foregoing, C. Geoffrey Hampson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the previously filed consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, with was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the British Columbia Securities Commission (together with the SEC, the "Commissions") on November 14, 2008, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was filed with the Commissions on March 31, 2009 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which was filed with the Commissions on May 15, 2009, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the consolidated financial statements which include the following:

   (i)    Warrants that the Company issued in conjunction with a financing
          that closed on November 19, 2008 should be valued and classified as
          a liability in the Company's financial statements, rather than as
          equity. Management of the Company believes that the resulting
          increase to its liabilities will be approximately $90,000.
   (ii)   As part of the acquisition of Auctomatic Inc. ("Auctomatic"), the
          Company agreed to issue a total of approximately 1,000,000 shares to
          the former shareholders of Auctomatic. Of these shares, 413,604
          shares were to be issued to three members of Auctomatic's
          management, one third each on the first, second and third
          anniversaries of the transaction, conditional on the individuals
          remaining as employees of the Company. The portion of the fair value
          of the shares to be issued based on the period of service these
          individuals provided to the Company, computed in relation to the
          period of service required for the individuals to become entitled to
          the shares, should have been recorded as an expense in 2008 and 2009.
   (iii)  On January 1, 2009 the Company was to pay a bonus of CDN $100,000 to
          its President and Chief Corporate Development Officer. This bonus
          was not accrued as a liability as at December 31, 2008. The bonus is
          not discretionary; therefore an additional liability and expense of
          $81,660 should have been recorded in the Company's financial
          statements at December 31, 2008. This item was erroneously included
          in the Company's financial statements for the three months ended
          March 31, 2009, insofar as the compensation expense is recorded in
          2009 and not 2008.

The Company intends to file with the Commissions an amended Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 and an amended Form 10-Q/A for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as soon as practicable. Until the restated reports are filed, the Company is continuing its investigations with respect to these matters.

Management is assessing the effect of the restatement on the Company's internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. Management will not reach a final conclusion on the effect of the restatements on internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures until completion of the restatement process.

Mr. Hampson discussed these matters with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
