Note 1 - Basis of presentation and out of period adjustments

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lifeway Foods, Inc. and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively "Lifeway" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Out-of-period adjustments recorded during fiscal 2014

 

During fiscal 2014, adjustments to correct the accounting for certain items related to periods prior to 2014, in the aggregate, decreased income before provision for income taxes by approximately $600,000 and net income by approximately $400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.   These errors related to an understatement of accrued expenses and the provision for income taxes arising primarily from inaccurate accounting for certain employee, including officer, expense reports and an understatement of depreciation expense arising from assigning  incorrect useful lives.  The Company determined these adjustments to be immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to our previously filed consolidated financial statements.
