USA Mobility to Amend Previously Filed Financial Statements
Alexandria, VA (March 10, 2006) — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging services, today announced it will file an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and amendments to its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2005. The purpose of the filing is to amend and restate financial statements and other financial information for the years 2003 and 2004 and first three quarters of 2004 and 2005 to reflect certain adjustments.
USA Mobility said the corrections and adjustments do not impact its previously reported revenues, cash or cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.
In the process of preparing its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s internal accounting staff identified certain adjustments relating to the following: (1) corrections to the valuation of deferred income tax assets in 2003 and 2004; (2) the restatement of certain state and local transactional taxes previously recorded in 2005, to 2003 and 2004; (3) a correction of the calculation of depreciation expense in 2004 and 2005; (4) the inclusion of an additional severance liability for executives terminated in 2004; (5) the correction of the accounting for the merger with Metrocall Holdings, Inc. in 2004; and (6) an adjustment to other income in 2004.
Thomas L. Schilling, chief financial officer, said: “During our year-end financial review, we discovered accounting errors that occurred in certain earlier reporting periods. These errors primarily occurred prior to the merger of Arch Wireless, Inc. and Metrocall Holdings, Inc. on November 16, 2004. While these errors did not impact revenue, cash, or cash flow from operations, it is appropriate to amend and restate our previously issued financial statements and other financial information.”

 


 

Notice of the restatement of fiscal years 2003 and 2004, and 2005 quarterly financial results, was filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. As a result of the restatement, filings of financial statements and other financial information for 2003, 2004 and for each of the first three quarters of 2005 by USA Mobility and its predecessor companies should be disregarded.
