Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
(a) On August 26, 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (Audit Committee) of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (the Company) determined that the Companys previously filed consolidated financial statements and other financial information and the related reports of its independent registered public accounting firm on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the previously mentioned fiscal years and the quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 can no longer be relied upon and should be restated due to errors in the consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee has discussed the matters disclosed herein with respect to non-reliance on, and the correction of, the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements with the Companys management, other members of the Board of Directors and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors concurred with the Audit Committees non-reliance determination.
Background of the Error Correction
During the 2008 fiscal year-end closing process the Company identified unsupported reconciling amounts that reduced the accounts payable balances at a material consolidated subsidiary. After completing analysis of these unsupported reconciling amounts, it was determined that they principally related to the historical accounting at the subsidiary for the capitalization of inventory costs and the clearing of accruals from the accounts payable relating to transactions occurring in fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The historical subsidiary inventory standard costing system, established prior to the warehousing of inventory in China, did not appropriately differentiate the costing of inventory balances warehoused in China versus the United States. The warehoused inventories in China inappropriately included freight-in costs for shipments to the United States that had not been incurred. During fiscal year 2006, the Company modified the subsidiarys inventory costing process which rectified the costing error in inventory on a prospective basis but resulted in the reclassification of the historical error in inventory freight costs as a reduction to accounts payable with the erroneous belief that the reduction to accounts payable would offset future freight invoices. As a result of this error, the $2.287 million reduction within accounts payable remained until identified during the fiscal year 2008 closing process.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As a result of the determination to correct the Companys consolidated financial statements and in connection with managements annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Companys CEO and CFO undertook an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. As a result of their assessment, the Companys CEO and CFO identified a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness is related to the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the Companys material consolidated subsidiarys monthly reconciliation of accounts payable records to the general ledger. Specifically, the subsidiary maintained an overly complex accounts payable account structure, which when combined with the processing of a large volume of transactions led to the subsidiarys inability to perform adequate review procedures to timely identify reconciling amounts and the related reversals. This deficiency obscured the existence of unsupported reconciling amounts resulting in the untimely identification of the errors in the restatement discussed below.
The Companys management is committed to continuing efforts aimed at improving the design adequacy and operational effectiveness of its system of internal control and intends to take all necessary steps to address this material weakness. Subsequent to June 30, 2008, the Company began taking the following measures to address the material weakness identified above and to enhance internal control over monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reporting:
|
|
simplifying the account structure surrounding the accounts payable transactions by reducing the number of general ledger accounts used to record accounts payable, |
|
|
improving the accounts payable reconciliation process by revising the automatic postings to accounts payable, and |
|
|
enhancing the review and approval of the accounts payable reconciliation process with our subsidiary associates. |
The Company believes that these remediation actions, once they are fully implemented and operating for a sufficient period of time, will improve the Companys internal controls over financial reporting and are sufficient to remediate the material weakness described above. While steps have been taken to remediate the material weakness, additional measures may be required. Management will assess the effectiveness of the remediation efforts in connection with managements tests of internal control over financial reporting during fiscal year 2009.
Impact on Previously Issued Financial Statements
In its June 30, 2008 Form 10-K (2008 Form 10-K), the Company will present the adjustments in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders Equity for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. There were no changes to the previously issued Consolidated Statements of Income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007. There were no changes to the previously issued fiscal year 2007 and quarters ended March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The 2008 Form 10-K will also reflect the adjustments in the Selected Financial Data presented in Item 6 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, as applicable, as previously presented in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The Company currently anticipates filing the 2008 Form 10-K on or about September 15, 2008.
The effect of the restatement on the Companys previously reported fiscal year end consolidated financial statements are as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):
