Item 4.02 |
|
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a
Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review |
|
On May 16, 2005, management and the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors of Winnebago Industries, Inc. (the Company) concluded that a restatement of the consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 26, 2005 is necessary. Subsequent to the Companys filing
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 26, 2005, during an internal review of the Companys annual
physical inventory, an error in a formula of an electronic spreadsheet was found which resulted in an overstatement of inventory
and an understatement of cost of sales of $2,793,000. The restatement, net of income tax effect, will result in a reduction of net
income during the 13 and 26 weeks ended February 26, 2005, of $1,795,000 or $.05 per diluted share. The restatement does not
impact either the Companys cash position at February 26, 2005 or its revenues for the periods affected. |
|
As a result of the Companys determination to restate its
financial statements as discussed above, the financial statements included in its previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended February 26, 2005 should no longer be relied upon. |
|
On May 17, 2005, the Company issued a press release disclosing the
above revisions. The release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference. |
|
The Company intends to file a Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended
February 26, 2005 which will include restated consolidated financial statements as soon as practicable. |
|
The Companys management and the Audit Committee have
discussed the matters disclosed in this Form 8-K with the Companys independent registered accounting firm, Deloitte
& Touche LLP. |
