Q1 FY'11 Financial Statements in .pdf Format
Dell today said as a result of ongoing discussions with the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company recorded a $100 million liability in its first quarter of Fiscal 2011 to establish a reserve for the potential settlement by the company of the previously reported SEC investigation. The settlement would involve a civil injunctive action against the company for alleged violations of certain federal securities laws, including the antifraud provisions of federal securities laws, relating to certain accounting and financial reporting matters. The settlement would also include negligence-based fraud charges, as well as other non-fraud based charges, relating to the company’s disclosures and alleged omissions prior to Fiscal 2008 regarding certain aspects of its commercial relationship with Intel Corp.
In addition, the company reported that Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, and the SEC staff have recently commenced discussion of a settlement framework relating to Mr. Dell that would resolve allegations relating to the company’s disclosures and alleged omissions prior to Fiscal 2008 regarding certain aspects of the company’s commercial relationship with Intel Corp. Any such settlement by Mr. Dell would involve alleged violations of negligence-based fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as well as other non-fraud based provisions, and would not include any bar against Mr. Dell’s service as an officer and director of a public company. Any settlement would be made without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations.
“We are hopeful that these settlement discussions will achieve a comprehensive resolution in the near future. The independent directors of the Board have affirmed that Michael Dell will continue to lead the company as its Chairman and CEO, and he continues to have our complete confidence and support” said Sam Nunn, presiding director of the Dell Board.
The investigation of the company began in 2005. In response, Dell undertook an independent investigation, completed in 2007, which led to a restatement of certain historical financial reports and implementation of extensive remedial measures.
Because this latest development in Dell’s discussions with the SEC staff occurred before Dell filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its first quarter of Fiscal 2011, the company revised its previously announced financial results and recorded a liability for the potential settlement involving the company. The Form 10-Q report for the company’s first fiscal quarter was filed today.
As a result of the liability recorded, the company’s net income on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 has been reduced by $100 million, or 5 cents per share. Results on a non-GAAP basis did not change.
The following table summarizes the revised results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 and provides a comparison to the first quarter of Fiscal 2010:
