PR Newswire (US)
NANJING, China, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Ever-Glory
International Group, Inc. (the "Company," "Ever-Glory") (NYSE Amex:
EVK) today announced that the Company's Board of Directors decided
to restate its financial statements included in its Quarterly
Reports for the period ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and
September 30 2009 for the reason set forth below. The Company did
not properly calculate the derivative effect of certain warrants
issued in connection with a 2007 private placement ("Warrants").
The Company intends to file an amendment to the Form 10Q for the
period ended September 30, 2009 to make the necessary changes
related to the Company's treatment of the Warrants. The Company
will also include restated information regarding the quarters ended
March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009. The quantitative impact of
the adjustment would result in a decrease of net income and basic
earnings per share from approximately $1.9 million to $1.8 million
and $0.14 to $0.13, respectively for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, and $4.7 million to $4.0 million, and $0.35 to
$0.30, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The issuance of the Warrants had no quantitative impact on the
previously issued statements of cash flows or any discussion on
liquidity in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section as
this was a non-cash item. The Company believes it is important to
note that the adjustment does not relate to the Company's revenues
from operations. As a result of the above, the Company concluded
that its financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and
September 30 2009 should no longer be relied upon. About Ever-Glory
