Restatement
On August 14, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, concluded that the Company's previously issued unaudited interim financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, included in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for such respective quarters, should no longer be relied upon.
During the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, management of the Company identified certain errors related to the Company's calculation of cost of goods sold ("COGS") and inventory for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023. Specifically, although the costs of several components fluctuated substantially during fiscal 2023, the Company's costing procedures did not appropriately account for such fluctuations. As a result, inventories were overstated and COGS was understated, resulting in overstated gross profit, operating income and net income for each period.
The Company is in the process of preparing amended Forms 10-Q for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 and intends to file such amendments as soon as reasonably practicable after the restatement process is completed. Based on the information available as of this date, the Company estimates that net income for the first three quarters will be revised as follows:
Period End | Net Income - | Net Income - | $ Difference |
First quarter ended | |||
Second quarter ended | |||
Third quarter ended |
The above estimates reflect preliminary information for the affected quarters and are based on facts and information available to the Company's management as of the date of this release and are subject to potential further changes upon completion of the Company's financial review and restatement procedures.
Net sales during these periods are not expected to be affected by these restatements
Due to the aforementioned restatements, management of the Company has determined that a material weakness existed in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, rendering the Company's disclosure controls and procedures ineffective at the end of each such quarter. The Company has begun the process to enhance its internal control procedures for determining inventory cost in accordance with FIFO and COGS at the end of each fiscal quarter and will continue to refine these procedures and controls. While the Company has begun to take measures which it believes will remediate the underlying causes of this material weakness, there can be no assurance as to when the remediation plan will be fully developed and implemented and whether such measures will be effective. Until the Company's remediation plan is fully implemented and effective, the Company will continue to devote time, attention and financial resources to these efforts.
Dividend Declaration
On August 18, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
