RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | (3) RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On February 15, 2012, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) initiated with the Company an informal inquiry, and later a formal action, regarding the Company’s treatment of rebates associated with volume discounts provided by vendors (the “SEC Inquiry”). In providing its supply chain services, the Company enters into contracts with its clients that employ various arrangements for pricing, including “fixed-price,” “cost-plus,” or “cost-pass-through” pricing models. Although the specifications and terms of the pricing model can frequently vary from client to client, and among the products or programs for a single client, under a “fixed-price” model, the Company and its client will typically negotiate a fixed unit price for the supply chain services to be provided, where the level of costs incurred by the Company does not affect the contractual, negotiated price. Under a “cost-plus” model, the client agrees to pay the costs incurred by the Company to purchase materials, together with an agreed-to percentage mark-up on those costs. Finally, with regard to a “cost-pass-through” model, materials and other costs incurred by the Company are passed through directly to the client, and the client agrees to pay a separate negotiated fee for specified services provided by the Company. Arrangements with clients can include the use of any one or more of these pricing models, depending on the client program involved and the location from which the Company services the client. In addition, continued price and cost discussions with clients through the course of the relationship can sometimes result in an accepted change in the pricing model applied. Consequently, the implication and interpretation of the cost and price terms applicable to any particular client relationship can vary across client programs and products, at different periods in time, and based on the locations from which a client may be serviced. In the course of the Company’s contractual relationships, clients often demand lower costs over time, typically attributable to efficiency gains in service offerings. The Company accomplishes this in various ways, including for example, by shifting production to lower cost regions, redesigning clients’ packaging and supply chains, and strategically sourcing materials. As part of these services and in the normal course of its business, the Company purchases certain commodity types of materials, including, but not limited to, print, packaging, media and labels, to meet client requirements, often in quantities well in excess of those required by any one client. As a result, the Company receives improved pricing on materials. Frequently, the Company also received and retained rebates based on aggregate volumes of purchases or other criteria established by the vendor. The retention of rebates produced a positive impact on the Company’s revenue, and, therefore, also positively affected the Company’s profitability and operating income. As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2012 (the “2012 Annual Report”), the Audit Committee, in consultation with management and the Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 through 2011 and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012, and selected unaudited financial data for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, should no longer be relied upon. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were restated, as filed with the SEC on January 11, 2013 as part of the Company’s 2012 Annual Report. The Company’s 2012 Annual Report also included restated condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2012. Several principal adjustments were made to historic financial statements as a result of the restatement. Where the retention of a rebate or a mark-up was determined to have been inconsistent with a client contract (collectively referred to as “pricing adjustments”), the Company concluded that these amounts were not properly recorded as revenue. Accordingly, revenue was reduced by an equivalent amount for the period that the rebate was estimated to have affected. A corresponding liability for the same amount was recorded in that period (referred to as “accrued pricing liabilities”), which decreased working capital in the period. The Company believes that it may not ultimately be required to pay the accrued pricing liabilities, due in part to the nature of the interactions with its clients. When, and to the extent that, the Company is able to conclude that the accrued pricing liabilities have been extinguished for less than the amounts accrued, the Company will record the difference as other income. In the course of its business with certain clients, the Company has received releases of claims from such clients which have resulted in the Company concluding that the accrued pricing liabilities for those clients have been extinguished. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, no accrued pricing liabilities were extinguished. The remaining accrued pricing liabilities at January 31, 2013 will be derecognized when there is sufficient information for the Company to conclude that such liabilities have been extinguished, which may occur through payment, legal release, or other legal or factual determination. In addition to the errors described above, the restated financial statements included other adjustments to correct certain immaterial errors for previously unrecorded adjustments identified in audits of prior years’ financial statements (the “other adjustments”). The previously unrecorded audit adjustments were recorded as part of the restatement process although none of these adjustments is individually material. In the tables below, the column labeled “Restatement Pricing Adjustments” sets forth the pricing adjustments and the column labeled “Restatement Other Adjustments” sets forth the other adjustments. The restatement adjustments decreased revenues by $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended January, 31 2012, decreased net income by $0.3 million in both periods, and decreased basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 in both periods. In the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations below, the “As Previously Reported” columns have been adjusted to reclassify the results of operations associated with the disposed TFL business into discontinued operations.
The effects of the restatement adjustments on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2012 are as follows:
The effects of the restatement adjustments on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2012 are as follows:
