The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of results for each period.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.  The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report.  The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded out-of-period adjustments related to the correction of errors identified late in the year-end closing process of fiscal 2013 that were deemed immaterial for adjustment to the fiscal 2013 financial statements.  The impact of these corrections to the fiscal 2014 first quarter was to increase earnings before income taxes and noncontrolling interest by $437,000 and increase net earnings attributable to Twin Disc by $69,000 (after considering applicable tax effects).  The nature of these errors is as follows:
·The Company had over accrued for certain payroll related items totaling $337,000 as of June 30, 2013, resulting in an increase to earnings from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
·The Company had overstated its warranty accrual by $217,000 as of June 30, 2013, resulting in an increase to earnings from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
·The Company determined that work-in-process inventory had been overstated by $117,000 as of June 30, 2013.  As a result, additional cost of goods sold was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, resulting in a decrease to earnings from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
·The Company’s deferred tax liabilities were understated by $285,000 as of June 30, 2013, resulting in additional tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

The Company does not believe these errors were material to its financial statements for any prior period, nor that the correction of these errors was material to the six months ended December 27, 2013.

New Accounting Releases

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s fiscal 2017), and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued stock compensation guidance requiring that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition.  The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 (the Company’s fiscal 2017).  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.  This revenue recognition guidance supersedes existing US GAAP guidance, including most industry-specific guidance.  The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance identifies steps to apply in achieving this principle.  This updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (the Company’s fiscal 2018).  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial disclosures and results.

In April 2014, the FASB issued updated guidance on the reporting for discontinued operations.  Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations.  The new guidance also requires expanded financial disclosures about discontinued operations.  The amendments in this updated guidance are effective for the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2016.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial disclosures.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance stating that, except in certain defined circumstances, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013 (the Company’s fiscal 2015).  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial disclosures.
