Nantkwest further stated that "the material weakness, as disclosed in previous filings, is a result of inadequate staffing levels, resulting in insufficient time spent on review and approval of certain information used to prepare our financial statements and the maintenance of effective controls to adequately monitor and review significant transactions for financial statement completeness and accuracy. Management is continuing to assess the effect of the restatement on the Company's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and expects to report its conclusions regarding these matters in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015".
