Item 4.02 |
|
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or
Completed Interim Review. |
(a) On July 2, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Morgans Foods, Inc.
(Company), after consultation with management, concluded that the Companys financial statements
for the fiscal year ended March 1, 2009, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 1, 2009 (the 2009 10-K), should no longer be relied upon because of
an error related to the classification of the Companys debt as long-term under the applicable
accounting guidance at fiscal year-end. The Company expects to file an amendment to the 2009 10-K
as soon as possible after the Company has completed its analysis of the accounting debt
classification issue. The classification issue was identified during the Companys research into a
comment issued by the SEC Staff in a letter to the Company dated June 11, 2009 after the Staffs
review of the 2009 Form 10-K. The Staffs comment focused on waivers of loan covenant violations
which existed at March 1, 2009 and the periods for which the waivers of such covenant violations
had been obtained from the Companys lenders. The relevant accounting guidance (ASC 470-10,
formerly EITF 86-30) indicates such waivers need to be effective for a one year period if the
Company is unable to demonstrate that it is probable that such default will be cured or would not
occur within the twelve months following year-end. The Company currently believes that any change
in the classification of the Companys debt from long-term to current will have no effect on its
previously reported Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
for the 2009 fiscal year. The Companys Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters
disclosed in this Form 8-K with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Grant
Thornton LLP.
