2.        Restatement

 

On March 31, 2011, Sinovel Wind Group Co., Ltd. ("Sinovel"), a manufacturer of wind energy systems in China and the Company's largest customer, refused to accept scheduled shipments from the Company.  This action, combined with aging receivables from Sinovel and certain of its other customers in China, prompted the Company to re-evaluate its previous accounting judgments around revenue recognition, accounts receivable and the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.  This re-evaluation included an internal review of documents and interviews with management and other personnel with the assistance of external counsel. As a result, the Company determined that revenues and accounts receivable were incorrectly recorded in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 for certain of its customers in China, not including Sinvoel, as the fee for shipments of products to these customers was not fixed or determinable or collectability was not reasonably assured at the time of shipment. Further, as a result of aging receivables and other negative events surrounding the customer relationship, the Company concluded that revenue related to shipments to Sinovel in the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010 was incorrectly recorded since collectability was not reasonably assured at the time of shipment.  For Sinovel and certain other customers in China, the Company has restated revenues based on a cash basis of accounting with cash applied first against accounts receivable balances, as in the case of Sinovel as of September 30, 2010, then costs of shipments (inventory and value added taxes) before recognizing any gross margin. The Company had previously recognized revenues in the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 based on the receipt of shipments by these customers but prior to the Company's receipt of payment for such shipments. 

 

Accordingly, the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 have been restated to reflect restatement adjustments to record revenues on a cash basis for these certain customers in China as well as the related effects to accounts receivable, inventory, deferred taxes, stockholders' equity, cost of revenues, operating expenses, income taxes and other accounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The restatement adjustments decreased revenues by $82.6 million and $86.1 million, decreased net income by $34.2 million and $36.3 million, decreased basic and diluted net income per share by $0.71 and $0.78 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.  The restatement adjustments decreased total assets by $67.3 million, decreased total liabilities by $29.5 million, and decreased total stockholders' equity by $37.8 million as of December 31, 2010.

 

Included in the restatement adjustments for the three months ended December 31, 2010, is an increase in the provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $2.1 million and a write-off of certain prepaid value added taxes of $0.1 million that relate to amounts due from certain of its customers in China which the Company determined were not recoverable as of December 31, 2010.  In addition, the Company determined that the achievement of certain Company performance measures were not probable to occur as of December 31, 2010 with revenue for certain customers now being recorded on a cash basis. The Company recorded an adjustment to reduce its bonus accrual, recorded in accrued expenses, and cost and operating expenses by $1.4 million and stock-based compensation expenses by $1.2 million related to performance-based stock awards. The Company also recorded an adjustment of $0.6 million to increase property, plant and equipment and accrued expenses related to the implementation of the Company's new enterprise resource planning system. In addition, the Company identified and corrected minor errors in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
