Worldwide Restaurant Concepts, Inc. Announces Delay in Filing
10-Q and Rescheduling of Preliminary Earnings Release and Investor Conference
Call
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Worldwide Restaurant
Concepts, Inc. (NYSE:SZ) today announced that it would delay the filing of its
third quarter 10-Q, for the quarter ending February 6, 2005, due to its
on-going review of lease accounting procedures. As such, the Company today
filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating this
delay.
The Company, with its independent auditors and in consultation with its audit
committee, is thoroughly assessing its lease accounting and amortization
practices, in light of the recent restatements made by many other restaurant
and retail companies under various items of authoritative accounting
literature. The Company has not yet made a final determination as to whether
any adjustments will be made as a cumulative adjustment in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2005 or as a restatement of historical financial statements,
although the Company does not expect any such adjustments to impact the amount
of revenues or cash balances previously reported.
Preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 will be
released over the news wires before the market opens on Thursday, March 24,
2005 and the Company will hold its investor conference call on Thursday, March
24, 2005 at 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET. The call will feature Charles Boppell,
President and CEO of the Company, and Keith Wall, CFO, in a discussion of
preliminary fiscal 2005 third quarter financial results and operating
developments.
The public will have the opportunity to listen to the live conference call by
dialing 877-810-6712 (706-643-1972 for international callers) or via the
Internet through the Company's Web site at http://www.wrconcepts.com/ or
