The corrected information is also included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2017.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 7, 2017, we issued the Original Report, which included the Earnings Release regarding our financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016. The Company is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to amend the Original Report in order to correct the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, which was included in the Earnings Release.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Earnings Release, we determined that Property, plant and equipment, net was $165.1 million instead of $162.6 million and Accounts payable were $53.4 million instead of $50.9 million, as previously reported. As a result, Total assets and Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity were $402.7 million instead of $400.2 million, Total current liabilities were $98.5 million instead of $96.0 million, and Total liabilities were $197.1 million instead of $194.6 million, as previously reported.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is an updated copy of the Earnings Release reflecting the corrected balance sheet amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016. No other changes have been made to the Original Report.
The information furnished in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing. The filing of this Form 8-K/A and the furnishing of the information contained herein is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company as to the materiality

of any information contained herein or in any exhibit hereto or that the information provided includes material investor information that was not previously publicly available.
