Published:
Sport-Haley, Inc. Reports Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements for the Period Ended September 30, 2005
Sport-Haley, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPOR) ("Sport-Haley"
or the "Company") announced today that, on February 20, 2006, the Audit
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, along with senior
management, determined that the statements of operations and cash flows for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005, contained an error, which when
corrected would result in a material impact on results of operations for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The Audit Committee and senior
management have therefore determined that the statements of operations and
cash flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, require restatement.
The error relates to the Company's accounting for bonuses paid to certain
executive officers and a key employee in October 2005. Prior to September
30, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
met and resolved that such bonuses, which did not relate to future
services, should be paid in October 2005. The bonuses totaled $75,000 in
cash plus a vehicle valued at approximately $14,000. The Audit Committee
and senior management determined that the related compensation expense
should have been recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Compensation expense relating to the bonuses had been recorded in October
2005.
The Company expects to file an amended interim report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended September 30, 2005, within the next five business days. No
other unrelated corrections to the statements of operations or cash flows
for the period ended September 30, 2005, are expected.
While the correction of the error will not have any material effect on the
Company's statements of operations or cash flows for the six months ended
December 31, 2005, the correction will cause an increase in the amount of
reported net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, by
approximately 24% and will cause the Company to record net income in the
quarter ended December 31, 2005, of approximately $99,000, rather than a
net loss of approximately $3,000.
Until the error is corrected with the filing of an amended Form 10-Q
including restated statements of operations and cash flows, the Audit
Committee and senior management have concluded that the currently filed
statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended September 30,
2005, should not be relied upon. Members of the Audit Committee and senior
management have discussed this conclusion, the nature of the error and the
steps to be taken to remedy the error with the Company's independent
auditors and have been advised that the auditors concur with their
conclusions and the need to correct the error with restated statements of
operations and cash flows for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
