Teletouch Files PCI's 2006 Historical Audited Financial Statements & Pro Forma 2006 Consolidated Reports; Teletouch Cautions Investors Not to Rely on
Tue May 6, 4:37 PMFORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teletouch Communications, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TLLE), a leading U.S. cellular, mobile electronics and related wireless services provider today announced it has filed Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 17, 2006 relating to its debt restructuring, acquisition and consolidation of Progressive Concepts, Inc. (PCI) and completion of the sale of its paging business assets originally announced in August 2006 (the August 2006 Transactions). This 8-K Amendment contains the historical audited financial statements of PCI, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for the calendar years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and the unaudited financial statements of PCI for the five months ended May 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The filing also contains certain consolidated pro forma financial information in connection with the August 2006 Transactions. The Company encountered substantial unanticipated delays and difficulties in completing such presentations following the August 2006 Transactions, which, in turn, prevented it from filing within the statutorily prescribed timeframe.
THE COMPANY CAUTIONS INVESTORS AND OTHER USERS OF ITS SEC FILINGS NOT TO RELY ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION FILED WITH THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO ITS AUGUST 17, 2006 CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K DUE TO THE HISTORICAL NATURE OF SUCH FINANCIAL PRESENTATIONS AND THAT THEY DO NOT REPRESENT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE COMPANYS BUSINESS, OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The Company and its independent auditors are working diligently to complete and file all of the Companys outstanding audited financial statements which are required to be filed as of the dates hereof, and investors should expect the next filings, in order, to be the audited results for the full fiscal years 2007 and 2008, ending May 31, 2007 and May 31, 2008 respectively. The Company anticipates such filings to take place as soon as possible.
Teletouch President and Chief Operating Officer, T. A. Kip Hyde, Jr. stated, We continue to make progress with our auditors in completing the audits of our prior year periods. The completion of the base year audits of PCI as disclosed in the 8-K/A now allows Teletouch to recast its financial statements for the periods prior and subsequent to the acquisition, as consolidated with PCI. This critical element moves us closer to completing the audits of all of the financial statements required to be included in the Companys filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, and upcoming 2008 fiscal year end. We will continue to keep the market informed of its progress through this process.
