t expectations. The actual changes to the financial statements and detailed information regarding the elements of the restatement will be included in the Company’s amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 after the Company has completed its work with respect to the restatement and has finished preparing those amendments. There can be no assurance that the actual changes to the financial statements and the effect of those changes on the Company’s financial position and results of operations will not differ, possibly materially, from the Company’s current expectations.

The Audit Committee of the Company has discussed the matters disclosed in this Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02(a) with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

 

As a result of the determination to restate these previously issued financial statements, management is in the process of re-evaluating the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.  Management will not reach a final conclusion on the effect of the restatement on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures until completion of the restatement process.

 

The Company currently anticipates that it will be in a position to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes information that constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to the Company. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding materiality or significance, the quantitative effects of the restated financial statements, and any anticipated conclusions of the Audit Committee or the Company’s management with respect to the matters relating to the Company’s accounting. By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors could cause actual events and results, as well as the Company’s expectations regarding materiality or significance, the restatement’s quantitative effects, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the risk that additional information may become known prior to the expected filing with the SEC of the amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A or that other subsequent events may occur that would require the Company to make additional adjustments to its financial statements. Other risk factors affecting the Company are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.
