Numerex Issues Corrected Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Correction Does Not Affect Previously Reported Cash Position, Revenues or Adjusted EBITDA
ATLANTA, Nov. 9, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Numerex Corp (NASDAQ: NMRX), a leading single source provider of secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, today issued a correction to its financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009, which were announced on November 5, 2009. The correction does not affect prior reporting periods or require an accounting restatement.
As previously reported, during the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company utilized cash to retire an aggregate of $3.0 million of its non convertible secured term notes and converted $2.0 million of its convertible secured term notes to 448,467 shares of its Class A Common Stock. The convertible debt retired had an original conversion price of $10.37 per share compared to an average revised conversion price of $4.46 per share.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, specifically, ASC 470-20 (formerly Financial Accounting Standard 84), an adjustment to the conversion price of the convertible note should have been accounted for as an inducement to convert the note, even though there was no economic incentive offered. The fair value of the shares provided approximated the carrying value of the outstanding note.
As a result, the Company is required to report an additional $1.3 million non-cash adjustment to interest expense for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009. The Company also expects to report a $1.2 million non-cash adjustment during the fourth quarter associated with the recent retirement of its remaining structured debt. These amounts represent the incremental number of shares issued multiplied by the share price on the settlement date.
This is a non-cash adjustment and has no impact on the Company’s base business. In particular, it does not change either historical operating earnings or forward looking statements for the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result of this correction, GAAP pre-tax net loss is now $2.2 million, compared to a GAAP pre-tax net income of $202,000 in the third quarter of 2008. GAAP pre-tax basic/diluted loss per share was ($0.15) for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared with earnings per share of $0.01 in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and legal fees associated with litigation, remains unchanged at $0.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 following the correction, compared to $1.9 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP basic/diluted loss per share remains unchanged at ($0.02) for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to net income per share of $0.05 in the same period last year. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
