JDA Software Delays Filing 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K
Scottsdale, Ariz. - March 15, 2012 - JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company®, today announced that the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) will be delayed beyond the March 15, 2012 extended due date.
JDA was unable to file its 2011 Form 10-K as the Company continues to complete previously disclosed information requests from the staff of the SEC's divisions of Enforcement and Corporation Finance, which have inquired about certain accounting matters relating to the Company's financial statements. The SEC staff's inquiries have focused on the Company's revenue-recognition policies and its impact on the Company's current and historical financial statements.
The Company, working with outside counsel engaged by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and an accounting firm that is separate from its independent auditor, has made substantial progress in the review of the application of its revenue-recognition policies and other accounting matters. Based on the analysis performed to date, the Company continues to believe that any potential impact would relate to the time period during which revenue was recognized, as opposed to the existence of the reported revenue. Consequently, under such scenario, the Company believes there would be no material impact to the Company's cumulative revenue. Additionally, neither reported cash flow from operations nor reported cash balances would be expected to be impacted.
To date, the Company has not identified any instances of intentional wrongdoing, and is cooperating with the Corporation Finance and Enforcement divisions of the SEC as work continues.
Other Related Compliance Matters
The Company notes the following information relating to the delayed filing:
| |
• | NASDAQ - The Company has until April 30, 2012 to submit a plan of compliance to the exchange. If NASDAQ accepts the Company's plan, an additional cure period of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K's original due date, or until August 28, 2012, can be granted to allow the Company to regain compliance. |
| |
• | Credit Facility - The Company has received an extension, to June 30, 2012, of the reporting requirement in its Credit Facility to remain in compliance with the provisions of its unfunded line of credit. |
| |
• | Senior Notes - Under the terms of the Indenture related to the 8% Senior Notes due December 15, 2014, if the Company is not in compliance with the reporting requirements by March 30, 2012, it would have 60 days from receipt of notice from the Trustee or note holders to regain compliance. During this period, the Company may elect to pay an additional 50 basis points of interest on the notes as a sole remedy for the delayed filing for a period of up to 365 days, or until the delayed filing is made. |
