ePlus inc. (PLUS: Quote) announced that it will restate its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, and the quarterly financial statements for the three quarters ended June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2011 and all of the quarters in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
For the periods affected by the restatement, the Company's restated financial statements will report revenues from the sale of third party software assurance, maintenance and services on a net basis rather than on a gross basis, as previously reported.
The company expects that the correction of this error will have no effect on its previously reported earnings, earnings per share, or consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, the Company has identified an unrelated error in connection with lease revenue reported prior to 2010 that will have an immaterial effect on its previously reported consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
In each fiscal year during the restatement period, the Company expects the effect of the gross vs. net revenue accounting change to decrease previously reported "sales of product and services" and "cost of sales, products and services."
As a result of the reporting change to a net basis, the Company also expects gross profit to remain unchanged and gross margin to increase. The Company expects its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to reflect similar revenue and cost of sales adjustments.
