LMP concludes that its previously issued financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021 are required to be restated and should no longer be relied upon due to the following:
“(i) the improper identification and elimination of intercompany transactions,
(ii) incorrect estimates of chargeback reserves for finance and insurance products, and
(iii) certain financial statement misclassifications impacting various balance sheet and income statement financial statement captions in the Relevant Periods.”
The company cites a decrease in total revenues and total cost of sales as follows:
“■ $10 to $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
■ $4 to $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021
■ $500 thousand to $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021“
