A. | Basis of Presentation
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. In the course of closing the Company’s books for April 2014, the Company discovered certain accounting irregularities relating to the quarter ended March 28, 2014, at its Belgian subsidiary, Twin Disc International S.A. (“TWINSA”). Specifically, the number of hours worked on manufacturing certain products included in TWINSA’s inventory was artificially inflated. The value of those hours totaled $82,000, and have been properly reflected as cost of goods sold in the Company's statement of operations for the quarter ended March 28, 2014. Prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company's Audit Committee completed an investigation of the accounting irregularities. The investigation did not identify any additional irregularities requiring adjustment to the Company's current or prior financial statements. The Company has taken appropriate actions related to certain of the personnel involved, and is considering what further actions may be necessary, which will likely include additional training and controls. 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 and nine month results 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.
• | The Company had overstated its warranty accrual by $217,000 as of June 30, 2013, resulting in an increase to earnings from operations.
• | 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.
• | The Company's deferred tax liabilities were understated by $285,000 as of June 30, 2013, resulting in additional tax expense.
The Company does not believe these errors are material to its financial statements for any prior period, nor that the correction of these errors is material to the nine months ended March 28, 2014 or its projected full year results for fiscal 2014. New Accounting Releases In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial disclosures. In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the parent company's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance clarifies the circumstances under which the related cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income. 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 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial results.
