Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On March 13, 2019, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Turtle Beach Corporation (the “Company”), after considering the recommendations of management and consulting with BDO USA, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the interim periods ended June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018 (the “Initial Filings”) should not be relied upon because the Company had improperly accounted for the fully-funded warrants issued in connection with the Company’s exchange of Series B Preferred Stock on April 23, 2018. The warrants are exercisable for a fixed number of shares of the Company’s common stock, except that the warrant holders have the right to receive cash in connection with the completion of a transaction defined as a Fundamental Transaction under the warrant agreement (e.g., a tender offer for 50% of the outstanding shares by the Company or a recapitalization of the Company). Upon subsequent review, the Company determined that the proper accounting treatment for the warrants due to this possible future cash conversion option was as a financial instrument obligation rather than as an equity instrument, as originally reported. Accounting for the warrants as a financial instrument obligation results in the Company reporting a liability equal to the fair value of the warrants at the time of the transaction, with subsequent changes in fair value reported quarterly in earnings based on a Black Scholes mark-to-market valuation.
On or prior to March 31, 2019, we expect to file amendments to the Initial Filings that restate the financial statements for such periods. The amended Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018 will reflect a reduction of net income from the reported amounts for the quarter and year-to-date periods of $8.6 million, resulting in a net loss of $2.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to net income originally reported of $6.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The amended Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018 will reflect an increase in net income from the reported amount for the quarter period of $0.2 million and a decrease in net income from the reported amount for the year-to-date period of $8.4 million, resulting in net income for the quarter and year-to-date periods of $14.9 million and $14.6 million, respectively, as compared to net income originally reported of $14.7 million and $23.0 million, respectively. In addition, the amended quarterly reports will reflect the warrants as a financial instrument obligation on the balance sheet in the amount of $11.2 million and $11.0 million as of June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018, respectively, with offsetting reductions in stockholders’ equity.
Previously reported amounts for revenue, gross profit, operating income, and net increase in cash and cash equivalents are not affected by the change in accounting for the warrants.
