Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PMRY) a technology and services
solution provider, today announced that it will restate its consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 5, 2008, 2007,
and 2006, in order to correct certain classification errors.
On December 17, 2008, the Audit Committee of Pomeroy IT Solutions,
Inc.(the "Company"), concluded that the previously issued financial
statements for the fiscal years ended January 5, 2008, 2007 and 2006 as
reported in the Form 10-K should no longer be relied upon due to
classification errors. The restatement of the Company’s consolidated
financial statements for such fiscal periods will have no effect on
previously reported net income and earnings per share, but will reflect
the correction of two specific classification errors.
The Company previously disclosed the change in its accounting treatment
for cash flows from floor plan financing arrangements and denoted its
re-classification of certain payroll related expenses from operating
expenses to cost of sales in its financial report for the third quarter
ended October 5, 2008.
"The Company has already undertaken efforts to correct the
classification errors on a prospective basis, as evidenced by the
disclosures contained in our most recent quarterly financial report, and
the institution of the corrections on a retrospective basis will have no
impact on the Company’s historical net income results and earnings per
share,” commented Craig Propst, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
"Accurate and intuitive financial reporting is paramount to our Company
and a part of our pledge to our shareholders. Therefore, we view this
corrective measure as a means to ensuring that our shareholders are
provided with a more seamless ability to analyze our comparable
consolidated financials from prior periods,” Mr. Propst added.
The Company is in the process of completing a comprehensive review of
these reclassifications and updating its Form 10-K in its entirety to
reflect these reclassifications. The Company expects to file an amended
annual report on Form 10-K for the 2007 fiscal year ended January 5,
2008 Form 10-K on or before January 30, 2009.
