Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
Janel Corporation (the "Company") is furnishing the accompanying preliminary unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 and the related preliminary unaudited consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year and quarter then ended, respectively, in order
to provide the Company’s stockholders with updated financial information regarding the Company.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 12b-25 filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 2, 2019
and February 15, 2019, the Company has not yet filed with the SEC the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2018. The
Company’s delay in filing the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q was primarily the result of the Company requiring additional time to complete its analysis of complex and technical accounting issues relating to ASC Topic 605-45 Revenue Recognition -
Principal Agent Considerations (“ASC Topic 605-45”) with respect to the Company’s logistics segment.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 30, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company
determined that the Company's previously issued financial statements contained errors based on the information obtained to date in connection with the ongoing review of complex and technical accounting issues relating to ASC Topic 605-45. As a
result, the Board concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the following fiscal periods (collectively, the “Relevant Periods”) should no longer be relied upon:
|
•
|
the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018;
|
|
•
|
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 and each fiscal quarter therein; and
|
|
•
|
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 and each fiscal quarter therein.
|
The Company has completed its analysis of complex and technical accounting issues relating to ASC Topic 605-45 and determined the aggregate
amount of previously-recognized revenue (on a gross basis, as opposed to a net basis) that has been affected and has determined the amount of such revenue to be recorded in the Relevant Periods. The Company is working toward filing its restated
consolidated financial statements for the Relevant Periods as soon as practicable. At this time, however, the Company cannot predict with certainty when the preparation of those restated consolidated financial statements will be completed.
Moreover, the Company is committed to addressing the issues identified in its prior filings and to re-establishing timely financial reporting as soon as practicable. That said, the expected non-cash adjustments do not relate to the Company's
operating performance and do not have any impact on net income, earnings per share or cash flows. Additionally, the anticipated adjustments do not impact net revenues (total logistics segment revenue less cost of purchased transportation
related services) or EBITA, both non-GAAP measures used by the Company.
In addition, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019, the Company dismissed its principal
independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe LLP, and appointed a new principal independent registered accounting firm, Prager Metis CPAs, LLC. Due to the Company’s change in certifying accountant, the financial information in Exhibit
99.1 to this Form 8-K has not been reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Company’s preliminary unaudited financial results contained therein are subject to change to reflect any necessary corrections
or adjustments resulting from the outcome of our audits.
