SAN DIEGO--()--AL International (Pink Sheets: JCOF) (www.alintjcof.com), a global direct marketer of lifestyle and nutritional products and gourmet fortified coffee, announced it has restated its Second Quarter Earnings. In preparation for becoming fully reporting, AL International was conducting an internal periodic review of its accounting and operations systems when it identified that it had underreported both income and profits for the second quarter. The company disclosed that top line revenue for the second quarter of 2012 has increased from approximately $18,940,000 to approximately $19,469,000, an improvement of $529,000. Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders of $259,000 improved to Net Income Available to Common Shareholders for the same period and has increased from a loss of ($259,000) to a profit of $14,000, an improvement of $273,000. The restated financial statements will be available for review on www.Pinksheets.com.
The increase in revenue all came as a result of underreported income on service items (Non-Tangible Products) acquired from the FDI acquisition. FDI’s business was fully integrated into the AL International operating system at the beginning of the second quarter. This was the first time AL International‘s operations systems processed orders for non-tangible products. The system logic only realized revenues on orders that tied to a tangible item physically held in inventory. It was this logic that eliminated the revenue on service items because they could not be tied to a tangible, shippable product.
Dave Briskie, AL International CFO, stated, “Although we welcome the increase in profitability and we are pleased that our internal reviews identified the system issue, we expect that our financial results are always presented accurately. This was an isolated case for the company whereby our strong internal controls as a tangible product company worked against us. We are confident that we have implemented proper measures to prevent a restatement from happening in the future. Due to the restatement we will be requesting our external auditors to review our statements through Q3 2012 and we will file our Form 10 to now include the 3rd quarter operating results. We expect the review to be complete and the Form 10 filing to take place in November.”
Steve Wallach, AL International CEO, said, “We are committed to reaching fully reporting status this year and, more importantly, we are continuing to implement the profitability improvement plan that we outlined during our last shareholder update call. Although we expect to show improvements with the release of our Q3 2012 results, we anticipate the full benefit of our initiative will be realized in Q3 and Q4 of 2013. We will discuss this further on our next shareholder update call when we release third quarter results next month.”
