EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The sole purpose of thisEXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Quaker Chemical Corporation’son Form 10-Q/A (this “Amended Filing”) amends our original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periodquarter ended June 30, 2015 (the “Form 10-Q”), asMarch 31, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 30, 2015, is to furnish Exhibit 101 to the Form 10-Q, which was inadvertently omitted from the original filing, in accordance with Rule 405 of Regulation S-T.  Exhibit 101 toMay 2, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). However, this report provides theamendment does not change our consolidated financial statements and related notes fromas set forth in the Form 10-Q formatted in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language).Original Filing.

 

No changes have been madeThe purpose of this Amended Filing is to revise Part I, Item 4 to reflect management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2019 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified subsequent to the Form 10-Q otherissuance of our Original Filing. This material weakness did not result in any change to our consolidated financial statements as set forth in the Original Filing. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are being filed herewith as exhibits to this Amended Filing (Exhibit 31.1 and Exhibit 31.2). Because no financial statements are contained within this Amended Filing, paragraph 3 of such certifications has been omitted.

Other than the furnishinginclusion within this Amended Filing of Exhibit 101, as described above.  Amendment No. 1new certifications required by management (and related amendment to the Form 10-Q does notexhibit index to reflect any subsequent events occurring after the original filingaddition of such certifications), this Amended Filing speaks only as of the date of the Original Filing and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in any way disclosures madeour Original Filing. Also, there are no changes to our consolidated financial statements set forth in the original Form 10-Q.Original Filing. This Amended Filing should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.

 


 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  At the time we filed the Original Filing, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer had concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Subsequent to that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2019 because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The Company is amending this Item 4 to reflect this conclusion. This control deficiency was identified following an internal review by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, of its 2018 audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, originally filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019. The Company did not design and maintain effective internal control over certain aspects of its information technology. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls related to (i) user access controls to adequately restrict user and privileged access to certain financial applications and data to the appropriate personnel, including ensuring appropriate segregation of duties as it relates to the preparation and review of journal entries and (ii) monitoring, documenting and approving system or data changes.

Notwithstanding this material weakness, the Company has concluded that no material misstatements exist in the consolidated financial statements as filed in the Original Filing and such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness. The Company and its Board of Directors are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. Management has evaluated the material weakness described above and has made significant progress updating its design and implementation of internal controls to remediate the aforementioned control deficiency and enhance the Company’s internal control environment. The remediation plan is being implemented and includes a revised risk assessment coupled with additional controls and procedures. Management is committed to successfully implementing the remediation plan as promptly as possible, and currently plans to evaluate its updated internal controls design and determine whether the controls have operated effectively during the third quarter of 2019 in order to fully remediate the aforementioned material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on that evaluation, no such changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
