recognition adjustment discussed below, we still had strong results from operations. Margins continue to be in the range that we guided to at the beginning of the year."
Identification of a Material Weakness; Prior Period Corrections
The Company will be amending its Form 10-K for 2014 as well as its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 to reflect a conclusion by the Company's management that internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014, and that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30. On August 27, 2014, upon filing of our Form 10-K for 2014, the Company had concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014. As part of this same filing, our independent registered public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), also concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
After re-evaluating our internal control over financial reporting related to our revenue recognition for certain of our Software License Maintenance and Service Agreements in 2014, the Company's management concluded that a material weakness existed in those areas and that therefore the Company's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014. Similarly, management has concluded that because that same material weakness had not been remediated by September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures continued to be ineffective as of that date. The Company is preparing an amendment to our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 to i) revise Deloitte's opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014 and (ii) revise management’s conclusions regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, and is preparing an amendment to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 to reflect managements revised conclusion on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The Company is in the process of remediating the identified deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting.
In light of the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, the Company has performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures. Following those additional analyses and procedures, we have corrected certain amounts within the condensed consolidated financial statements presented for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 and throughout this press release have been restated to correct errors related to the timing of when revenue was recognized. Such corrections adjusted the statement of income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 by increasing revenues by $2.4 million and increasing net income by $0.9 million. Such corrections adjusted the statement of income for the six months ended December 31, 2013 by increasing revenues by $0.9 million and increasing net income by $0.2 million. These errors are immaterial to prior periods; accordingly, prior filings will not be restated. Rather, we will present the immaterial effects of these errors in future filings.
