ASTA FUNDING, INC. ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL DETAILS ASSOCIATED WITH IT'S RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ - (Globe Newswire - August 27, 2018) - Asta Funding, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASFI) The Company previously disclosed that on January 11, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, determined that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for each of the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and the interim periods contained therein, as well as the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”) could no longer be relied upon. Therefore, all earnings press releases and similar prior communications issued by the Company, as well as other prior statements made by or on behalf of the Company relating to those periods should not be relied upon.
The Board’s decision to restate the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods arose from the Company’s re-evaluation of its historical conclusion to consolidate Pegasus Funding, LLC (“Pegasus”). Management determined in January 2018 that it lacked the control required to consolidate Pegasus in the historical periods specified above. As such, for all periods prior to January 13, 2018, when the Company acquired the interests in Pegasus that it did not already own, the Company should have reported its investment in Pegasus under the equity method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The change to the equity method of accounting for the Company's investment in Pegasus does not affect the Company's net income or loss during the Non-Reliance Periods. The change in presentation, however, as a result of de-consolidating Pegasus in the Non-Reliance Periods, does affect the revenue and expense items throughout the consolidated statement of operations. The change also has an impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cash flows for those periods.
Additionally, the Company evaluated its historical and current practices with respect to accounting for foreign currency matters under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 830 (“ASC 830”) in accordance US GAAP. In connection with this evaluation, the Company has determined that its previous accounting treatment for certain foreign currency matters during the Non-Reliance Periods was not appropriate and required adjustments. In connection with the restatement of the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods, the Company has reviewed the financial statements for all errors, including known errors that were previously not corrected in prior filings as immaterial out-of-period adjustments. As described below, these adjustments relating to recording errors and ASC 830 do effect the Company’s net income or loss during the Non-Reliance Periods.
Based on the Company's review to date, management anticipates that the restatement described above will result in the following changes to income (loss) before taxes and net income:
Period |
Income (loss) before taxes prior to Restatement |
Income (loss) before taxes prior after Restatement |
Increase (Decrease) |
Net income (loss) prior to Restatement |
Net income (loss) after Restatement |

Additionally, the cumulative restatement change through June 30, 2017 to the Company's consolidated balance sheet for the Non-Reliance Periods was a decrease in total assets of $3.5 million; a decrease in total liabilities of $0.8 million; and a decrease to stockholders' equity of $2.7 million. At June 30, 2017, after the restatement of the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods, the Company had approximately $212.7 million in total assets; $93.5 million in total liabilities; and $119.2 million in stockholders' equity. The cumulative restatement change for the Non-Reliance Periods had no effect on cash and cash equivalents.
