Explanatory Note on the Restatement of Previously Issued
Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2024, in
connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Audit
Committee of our Board of Directors, concluded that certain
previously filed financial statements should no longer be relied
upon and should be restated. The restatement relates to the
recognition of revenues and costs associated with customer
contracts that require performance obligations to be satisfied over
time and is explained in more detail within the recently filed
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The restatement adjustments had no impact to the Company’s cash on
hand or total cash flow from operations. Cumulatively, the
restatement adjustments will not change the profitability of the
Company and will net to zero over time as the Company completes its
customer contracts. Further, the changes resulting from the
restatement adjustments led to the recognition of the majority of
costs for certain contracts prior to the recognition of the
majority of the related revenue for those same contracts and, as a
result, the Company expects to recognize revenue in 2024 for
certain contracts for which it has already recognized the majority
of costs in 2023.
2024 Outlook
Based on current customer delivery schedules, management expects
to have an exceptionally strong second half of 2024 and reaffirms
its expectation for revenue of $52 to $54 million for the full year
2024, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 30%
and EPS of $0.31 to $0.34.
The foregoing projected outlook constitutes forward-looking
information and is intended to provide information about
management's current expectations for the Company's 2024 fiscal
year. Although considered reasonable as of the date hereof, this
outlook, and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate.
Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the
Company's expectations as set forth herein. See "Forward-Looking
Statements."
In preparing the above outlook, the Company assumed, among other
things, (i) that the Company’s backlog orders will translate into
revenue, (ii) that the Company will be able to satisfactorily
complete and deliver all orders and (iii) the timely payment by
customers for all billings. This section includes forward-looking
statements. See "Forward-Looking Statements."
Conference Call
Management plans to host an investor conference call soon after
filing its quarterly results on Form 10-Q for the period ending
March 31, 2024.
