- Pericom will restate the company’s consolidated financial statements for its first, second and third fiscal quarters ended September 27, 2008, December 27, 2008, and March 28, 2009, and
- the financial information for those periods included in Forms 10-Q filed and press releases issued by Pericom prior to the date of this report should not be relied upon.
Pericom is undertaking a review of accounting matters relating to the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal 2009. Pericom cannot state at this time when the full review will be completed or when fiscal 2009 results will be announced, and intends to provide appropriate updates on these matters as soon as practicable.
To date, Pericom has identified two errors in the course of this review, but continues to examine other accounting issues that may or may not require further accounting adjustments. These two errors are:
- For 2009 Q1, Pericom did not record a decline in value of $414,000 on its income statement relating to an obligation owed by Lehman Brothers Holdings after Lehman filed for bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. Pericom’s internal accounting review failed to conclude that this impairment was other-than-temporary and to include this impairment in the income statement for 2009 Q1.
- For 2009 Q2, in connection with the conversion of Pericom’s enterprise resource planning software, there was an inadvertent misclassification of cost data. This misclassification led to an understatement of cost of goods sold by $772,000. This error was not quantified or identified until balance sheet reconciliations with subledgers became available and were completed after 2009 Q3 results were reported.
Pericom also expects that it will report material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting with respect to the 2009 fiscal year."
