Item 4.02(a) NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.
On December 14, 2005, the management of Mueller Water Products, LLC (the “Company”) and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors determined that the financial statements of the Company for the two years ended September 30, 2004 and interim periods of fiscal years 2005 and 2004 required restatement. Accordingly, the previously filed consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the unaudited financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods of fiscal 2005 and 2004 should not be relied upon.
The restatement arose as a result of management’s determination that the financial statements for the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and interim periods in fiscal 2005 and 2004 did not correctly present (i) cash flows from the effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances; (ii) cash flows from the loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment; (iii) cash flows and balance sheet presentation of book overdrafts; (iv) the presentation of current and non-current deferred income tax assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and (v) depreciation expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
The restatement has no affect on the Company’s consolidated net income or the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit for the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and interim periods in fiscal 2005 and 2004.
The restatement adjusts cash flows from operating activities to include the effects of exchange rate changes and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. It also adjusts cash flows from financing activities to include the effects of book overdrafts, with a corresponding adjustment to cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet. Current and non-current deferred income tax assets are also adjusted to properly reflect the nature of the underlying temporary differences in the balance sheet, as well as the categorization of changes in the deferred income tax balances within the operating cash flows. Cost of goods sold was adjusted to include depreciation expense previously recorded in selling, general and administrative expense that relates to manufacturing operations. Certain items included in other, net in the statement of cash flows in prior periods were also presented as discrete items in the current presentation These items are also shown “As Reported” and “As Restated” in the schedule below.
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the preparation, review and presentation and disclosure of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements. Specifically, the Company’s controls failed to prevent or detect the incorrect presentation of the following: (i) cash flows from the effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances; (ii) cash flows from the loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment; (iii) cash flows and balance sheet presentation of book overdrafts; (iv) the presentation of current and non-current deferred income tax assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and (v) depreciation expense as selling, general and administrative expense instead of cost of sales in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of our annual consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2004 and 2003 and our interim consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 and all interim periods of fiscal 2004. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s consolidated financial statements that would result in a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
2
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has discussed this matter with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”).
As a result of the foregoing, the Company intends to include the corrected Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K to be filed on December 19, 2005 and to file Form 10-Q/A’s for all interim periods of fiscal 2005 as soon as practical. The Form 10-Q/A’s will also include other conforming changes to the interim financial statement footnotes, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, Form 10-Q Item 4 disclosures and new officer certifications.
A summary of the effects of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements for the interim periods of fiscal 2005 and 2004 and the annual periods ending September 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:
