ITEM 8.01 | OTHER EVENTS |
Blount International, Inc. [NYSE: BLT] (“Blount” or “Company”) today announced that it anticipates filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 on or before April 30, 2014. On March 17, 2014, which was the initial deadline for filing the Company’s Form 10-K, Blount filed a Form 12b-25 which extended the filing date to March 31, 2014.
As the Company stated in its Form 12b-25 filing, Blount was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 within the prescribed time period because the Company had not yet finalized its consolidated financial statements or completed its assessment of internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm had not yet completed their audit of the consolidated financial statements and ICFR for the year ended December 31, 2013. Completion of these activities did not occur prior to the extended filing date of March 31, 2014. Upon finalization of its Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company expects to record impairment charges to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for certain of its recent acquisitions. Additionally, the Company expects management’s report on ICFR included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 will conclude that ICFR is not effective as of December 31, 2013 and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as of that date.
