Power Solutions International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSIX) Files An 8-K Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
Item4.02
| Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. | 
  On April5, 2017, in light of the findings made by the Audit
  Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) of
  Power Solutions International, Inc. (the Company) discussed below
  in Item7.01 of this Form 8-K, the Companys senior management, in
  consultation with the Audit Committee and Board of Directors,
  determined that the Companys previously issued consolidated
  financial statements for the fiscal year ended December31, 2014
  and first fiscal quarter ended March31, 2015 should be restated
  to reflect the impact of certain errors involving revenue
  recognition. The foregoing financial statements, managements
  report on the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures
  and internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year
  and related reports of the Companys former independent registered
  public accounting firm (which as previously disclosed were
  withdrawn) should no longer be relied upon. The Companys chief
  financial officer has discussed the determination to restate the
  2014 fiscal year and 2015 first fiscal quarter financial
  statements with its current independent registered public
  accounting firm.
  As previously disclosed, the Company concluded that it will
  restate its consolidated financial statements for (i)the fiscal
  year ended December31, 2015 and the second, third and fourth
  fiscal quarters within such fiscal year, and (ii)the fiscal
  quarter ended March31, 2016.
  The Company continues to assess errors in the timing of revenue
  recognition and other potential adjustments in accordance with
  generally accepted accounting principles in light of the findings
  of the Audit Committee. Based on its current assessment, the
  Company expects its restated financial statements for the 2014,
  2015 and 2016 fiscal years (and the quarterly periods within such
  fiscal years) will reflect adjustments that may (i)result in a
  shift of recognized revenues from prior periods to subsequent
  periods in the aggregate amount of approximately $48 million to
  $74 million for the three year period reflecting an increase in
  revenues recognized in certain periods and a decrease in revenues
  in other periods and (ii)reflect a determination that recognized
  revenues in the aggregate amount of approximately $5 million for
  the three year period may be treated as uncollectible accounts
  receivable or erroneously recognized revenues from the outset.
  While the estimated revenue adjustments reflect the current
  assessment of the accounting errors, there can be no assurance
  that the final adjustments that are made as part of the
  restatements will not differ materially from the estimated
  adjustments. Nor can the Company provide assurance that other
  errors will not be identified or that prior accounting periods
  during the course of the Companys review and restatement will not
  be impacted.
| Item5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. | 
  On March31, 2017, the Company closed on the transactions governed
  by its previously reported Share Purchase Agreement with Weichai

  Agreement). In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Gary
  Winemaster stepped down as Chairman of the Board effective
  April1, 2017, and Shaojun Sun was elected as the new Chairman.
  In order to facilitate certain remedial measures adopted by the
  Company in connection with the previously announced independent
  internal review by the Audit Committee, Gary Winemaster resigned
  as chief executive officer and president of the Company effective
  April6, 2017, and has transitioned to a new non-executive role as
  chief strategy officer focused on developing and facilitating the
  Companys relationship with Weichai Power Co., Ltd., an affiliate
  of Weichai, under the Strategic Collaboration Agreement that was
  entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement.
  Mr.Winemaster also has resigned from the Companys Board of
  Directors effective April6, 2017.
  On April6, 2017, the Board of Directors appointed Raymond C.
  Anderson of Huron Consulting Services LLC, a leading consulting
  firm, to serve in an interim role as the Companys chief executive
  officer. Mr.Anderson, age 51, has over twenty years of
  professional experience in providing consulting services and
  acting in a variety of leadership roles. He has been associated
  with Huron since 2010. Mr.Anderson has served in a variety of
  interim officer and board roles in a wide number of industries at
  both public and private entities. His public company experience
  includes former service as a board member and chairman of the
  audit committee of Youbet.com, Inc., an online gaming company,
  and chief financial officer of USA Floral Products, Inc., a
  floral products distributer. The Company will pay Huron fees for
  Mr.Andersons services based on an hourly rate of $640 per hour.

  consult other sources to conduct a search for a new, permanent
  chief executive officer.

Audit Committee Independent Internal Review
2
  As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee has been overseeing
  an independent internal review relating to allegations made by a
  former employee concerning the Companys financial reporting and
  standards for revenue recognition. The Audit Committee has
  substantially completed and finalized its principal findings with
  respect to its review. The principal findings include a
  determination that certain practices of the Companys sales and
  accounting functions resulted in revenue recognition not in
  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that
  there was not an appropriate tone at the top; that senior sales
  management did not sufficiently supervise sales staff; and that
  management did not elevate revenue recognition practice concerns
  to the Audit Committee.
  The Audit Committee has made a number of recommendations, which
  were communicated to management and are in the process of
  implementation or, in certain cases, have been implemented. These
  include, in addition to the recommendations of the Audit
  Committee discussed above, among other things:
| replacement of the chief financial officer and the appointment of an interim chief financial officer; | 
| taking corrective actions with respect to certain sales and accounting personnel; | 
| hiring of a sales auditor and chief compliance officer; | 
| additional training in revenue recognition for sales and accounting staff; | 
| additional training for all employees on the Companys compliance/ethics hotline; | 
| adoption of a more detailed revenue recognition policy; | 
| enhancement in disclosure controls, including for the preparation of disclosures required in the Companys annual and quarterly reports and the review of doubtful accounts; and | 
| enhancement in sales controls, oversight, policies and procedures, and an assessment of incentive compensation structure for sales personnel. | 
  The Board of Directors and senior management have agreed to and
  are working diligently to implement the Audit Committees
  recommendations.
Performance Update
  For the full 2017 fiscal year, the Company budgeted product
  shipments of $375 million, of which the total of first quarter
  product shipments and firm order shipment backlog for the balance
  of 2017 totals approximately $219 million, or 58% of budgeted
  product shipments. The Companys product shipments for the quarter
  ended March31, 2017 quarter are approximately $84.3 million. The
  Company believes the product shipment backlog of customer orders
  is at the highest level since the Company has been in business.
