ITEM 2.02  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

 

On June 14, 2006, in connection with the announcement of a delay in filing its Annual Report of Form 10-K, the Company issued a press release containing certain information regarding the Company’s results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.  The description in the press release is not intended as a complete discussion or analysis of results of operations for the periods covered.  The Company estimates that it will be in a position to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 on or about June 29, 2006, and such report will contain a more complete discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations.  

 

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  The information contained in the press release shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation by reference language contained therein, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific release in such a filing.

 
 

ITEM 2.06  

MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS.

 

In connection with a routine SEC comment letter, the Company has recently determined it has separate regional operating segments, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Pursuant to SFAS No. 131 the Company has aggregated its operating segments except for South America, into one reportable segment, and will provide the required disclosures for these two reportable segments. In accordance with SFAS No.142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company has determined that the reporting unit will be at the operating segment level. Under SFAS No. 142 the Company is required to appropriately allocate the previously reported enterprise goodwill to operating segments and test for impairment as of January 1, 2006, the annual testing date. The first step in this annual test indicated a potential impairment for certain of the operating segments. As part of Step 2, an independent third party has been engaged to complete valuations used in the impairment testing process.  Until this work is completed, the Company will not be able to determine the extent of its non-cash goodwill impairment charge for fiscal year 2006, which will have a material impact on its results.

 

At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the extent of goodwill and asset impairment charges that will be recognized during the 2006 fiscal year.  However, the Company expects to recognize substantial non-cash charges for both goodwill and asset impairment. As a result, the Company expects to report a substantial net loss for the 2006 fiscal year, compared to $13.3 million of net income for the prior fiscal year.  All of the goodwill and asset impairment charges that will be recognized during the 2006 fiscal year will be discussed in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company expects to file on or before June 29, 2006.

 
 

ITEM 7.01

REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

 

On June 14, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing that it will be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year end March 31, 2006 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.

 

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  The information contained in the press release shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation by reference language contained therein, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific release in such a filing.
