2.        Restatement of Fiscal 2010 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company previously restated its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 as reflected in amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the applicable periods. The restatements related to the Company's determination that revenues were incorrectly recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 for certain of the Company's customers in China as the fee 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 was incorrectly recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as collectability was not reasonably assured at the time of shipments. 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. For certain Chinese customers other than Sinovel, the Company has determined that this method of accounting should have been applied for shipments after August 31, 2010.  For Sinovel, the Company has determined that this method of accounting should have been applied for shipments after September 30, 2010. 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. 

In connection with the errors identified by the Company resulting in the restatement of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, the Company identified control deficiencies in its internal controls that constitute material weaknesses. The deficiencies center on its controls over its revenue and accounts receivable balances, as fees were not fixed or determinable or collectability was not reasonably assured at the time revenue was recognized. As a result of these deficiencies, the Company determined that its disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011.
