NOTE C- OUT OF PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

 

In the first quarter of 2014, we elected to revise our prior year financial statements in accordance with Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) for three previously uncorrected misstatements which impacted the fourth quarter of 2013. The corrections are immaterial to our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, we corrected the balance sheet impact of these errors by revising our previously issued financial statements in our 2014 first quarter 10-Q filing. The first revision related to the cutoff of voyage revenues which resulted in a decrease in revenue and a decrease in voyage expenses for a net adjustment to pre-tax income of $70,000. The second correction related to the classification of the short-term and long-term portions of a related party note receivable. This revision decreased our short term note receivable and increased our long term note receivable by $275,000. The third revision related to an increase in our long-term deferred tax assets and a decrease to our deferred income tax expense by $305,000. The total effect of the revisions on retained earnings was an increase of $375,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The income statement effect of these entries has been revised in our financial statements for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013. 

 

The income statement line items impacted by these revisions by more than 1% are presented in the table below in thousands:

The impact of these revisions on Revenue, Voyage Expense, Total Operating Expenses, Operating Income, Income Before Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes and Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Entities, Retained Earnings, Stockholders’ Equity, Current Assets, Non-Current Assets, Current Liabilities, and Non-Current Liabilities was less than 1% of each line item, respectively.

 

In July of 2011, Oslo Bulk AS (“Oslo”), an entity in which we hold a 25% equity interest and account for under the equity method, entered into an interest rate swap to reduce its exposure to variable interest rates on its outstanding debt.  We incorrectly accounted for the derivative by reporting our 25% share of the change in fair value of the derivative in the consolidated statements of income under the caption “Equity in Net (Loss) Income of Unconsolidated Entities” from inception of the swap to December 31, 2011, rather than accounting for the change in fair value as a component of comprehensive income.  The change in fair value recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 resulted in an aggregate loss of approximately $674,000.   As a result of this error, we recorded an out of period (“OOP”) adjustment during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to correct the $674,000 aggregate loss that was previously recorded in 2011, and $42,000 that was previously recorded in the first quarter of 2012.  The correction of these amounts was recorded in "Other Comprehensive Income".  We also recorded a $324,000 negative OOP adjustment related to net charter revenues that were not previously recorded on a straight-line basis in prior periods from 1999 to 2011, and a $239,000 positive OOP adjustment related to the termination of a lease on one of our PCTC vessels in the third quarter of 2011.  The net impact of these OOP adjustments was an $85,000 decrease to pre-tax income and a $631,000 increase to net income.  We evaluated the impact of the OOP adjustments on the results of our previously issued financial statements for each of the periods affected and concluded that the impact was not material.  In 2012, we evaluated the impact of correcting the cumulative effect of the OOP adjustments and concluded that the impact would not materially affect our results for 2012.  Accordingly, a net adjustment of $631,000 was recorded to correct the OOP errors in the three month period ended June 30, 2012.
