“There are ongoing analyses related to the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles to certain transactions which occurred in fiscal 2005 and earlier years,” the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. “Until such analyses are complete, the company is unable to finalise its financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.”
The results of the analyses completed to date caused the company to conclude that its previously issued financial statements for fiscal 2004 and certain earlier years, and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005, should be restated, it said. It is currently in the process of finalising the restatement adjustments it has identified and completing its analyses of certain other accounting matters in order to determine if additional restatement adjustments are necessary.
It is also finalising its financial statements for fiscal 2005, including impairment testing of intangible assets, and anticipates that a significant, non-cash impairment charge will be reflected in fiscal 2005 earnings.
The company has not yet completed its assessment of internal control over financial reporting; however, management has concluded that material weaknesses existed as of 30 January 2005.
