Item
4.02(a). Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial
Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On
February 26, 2008, NN, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it will restate its
previously issued financial statements for the second quarter ended June 30,
2007 and the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. In preparing
these financial statements, management concluded that, due to the internal
restructuring of the Metal Bearing Components segment in the second quarter and
the lower than expected sales of the Precision Metal Components segment in the
third quarter, the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets may not be
recoverable. As a result, management performed impairment tests in
both the second and third quarters in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS
144").
An
impairment charge of $1.932 million ($1.452 million after-tax) was initially
recorded in the second quarter, which related to a customer contract intangible
asset recorded in conjunction with the October 2005 acquisition of the assets of
SNR Roulements. An impairment charge of $5.6 million ($3.7 million
after-tax) was initially recorded in the third quarter, which related to a
customer relationship intangible asset that had been recorded in conjunction
with the November 30, 2006 acquisition of Whirlaway
Corporation. After performing the impairment tests based on the
Company's assumptions and interpretation of the provisions of SFAS 144,
management determined that these intangible assets were impaired and
consequently recorded non-cash charges to write these assets down to the value
supported by a fair value analysis based on their forecasted cash
flows.
During
the preparation of its year-end financial statements and in response to a
comment letter issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities
and Exchange Commission related to a routine review of the Company's third
quarter 10-Q filings, management re-evaluated the assessment of asset groups
used to determine the grouping of long-lived assets and the lowest level for
which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other
assets and liabilities to test for impairment pursuant to SFAS
144. After this re-evaluation, management determined that different
asset groups and cash flow assumptions should have been utilized in its
assessment of whether the carrying value of its asset groups were
recoverable. Upon testing the new asset groups for recoverability,
management has determined that the undiscounted cash flows indicated the asset
groups are recoverable. Accordingly, the previously recorded non-cash
impairment charges related to these assets were not supported and should be
reversed. The Company has determined that the Metal Bearing
Component's contract intangible should continue to be amortized over the
remainder of its original useful life of five years and the Precision
Component's customer relationship intangible asset should be amortized over a
remaining useful life of ten years, which has been revised from its originally
assumed life of twenty years.
After
discussions between management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
of NN, Inc. on February 20, 2008, management, at the direction of the Audit
Committee, concluded that the Company should restate its previously issued
financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Management
believes that the net effect of adjustments that will be made in the restated
financial statements will be to increase net income by $1.5 million, or $0.08
per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and to increase net
income by $3.6 million, or $0.21 and $5.1 million, or $0.30 per share
respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007. Total assets and total stockholder’s equity will increase by
approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 2007 and $5.1 million at September 30,
2007. In light of the restatement of the interim financial
information, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of its Board of
Directors has concluded that the previously issued financial statements for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2007 and the third quarter ended September 30,
2007 should no longer be relied upon. The Company intends to file
amended Form 10-Q’s for these quarters as soon as practicable.
The
Company’s management has concluded that this matter resulted from a material
weakness in its internal controls over the accounting for the impairment of
long-lived assets and that its disclosure controls and procedures were
ineffective as of June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 31,
2007. However, as of the date of the filings of the Company's Form
10-Q/A for the second and third quarters of 2007, the material weakness in
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with respect to the
accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets has been remediated by the
inclusion of enhanced procedures surrounding these calculations.
The Audit
Committee and management of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed
pursuant to this Item 4.02(a) filing with the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
A copy of
the press release relating to such conclusions, dated February 26, 2008 is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
