Material Changes Versus Prior Periods
- 2009 Periods: The restatement significantly reduced reported interest expense and net losses for the 2009 periods. Previously, $7.6 million of non-cash interest related to debt discount write-offs was expensed immediately. The correction capitalizes these costs and amortizes them over the loan term (through September 2012).
- Q1 2010: Unlike the 2009 periods, the restatement for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, resulted in a slight increase in interest expense ($0.6 million) and net loss due to the ongoing amortization of the capitalized costs.
- Balance Sheet: Long-term debt decreased in all periods due to the reclassification of debt discounts, while other assets increased due to the capitalization of issuance costs.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Management Action: The Audit Committee and management concluded that previously issued financial statements for the specified periods should no longer be relied upon. The report of Ernst & Young LLP for the year ended December 31, 2009, is also no longer reliable.
- Future Filings: The Company plans to file amended reports (Form 10-K/A for 2009 and Form 10-Q/A for Q1 2010) on or before August 9, 2010.
- Risk/Contingency: The primary risk identified is the historical misclassification of debt accounting treatment, which has now been corrected. No forward-looking guidance or revenue outlook is provided in this specific filing.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the filing of the amended Form 10-K/A and Form 10-Q/A by August 9, 2010, to confirm the restated financial position.
- Review the corrected interest expense trajectory, noting the shift from a large one-time loss in 2009 to amortized expense in 2010.
- Confirm the updated long-term debt balance, which is lower than previously reported due to the debt discount adjustment.
- Assess the impact on stockholders' equity, which increased significantly in the restated figures for 2009 and Q1 2010.
