PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period for the following reasons.

 

As previously disclosed in its prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company is cooperating with an ongoing investigation by the SEC relating in part to the manner in which the Company recognized revenue on “bill and hold” transactions. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) conducted an investigation, the focus of which was to review the extent to which the Company incorrectly recognized revenue with respect to bill and hold transactions. The investigation found, among other things, that the Company did not meet all of the accounting criteria for recognizing revenue on a bill and hold basis from 2014 through the second quarter of 2018 and, thus, certain revenues during this timeframe were not recognized in the proper period.

 

As previously disclosed, the Company has concluded that its consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the annual periods in the four-year period ended December 31, 2017, each fiscal quarter of 2017 and the first two fiscal quarters of 2018 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated. The full impact of the errors on the Company’s financial statements has not been determined. Absent a restatement and the related audit work, the Company will not be able to provide the financial statements required to be included in the 2019 Form 10-K.

 

The Company received a letter, dated October 31, 2019, from the SEC staff (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that it may be subject, without further notice, to an administrative proceeding to revoke the Company’s registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) if the Company has not filed all required Exchange Act reports within fifteen days from the date of the letter. The administrative proceeding would be brought by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act, and also may suspend trading in the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s board of directors has determined to not formally respond to the Staff’s deregistration letter and has directed the Company’s representatives to contact the Staff to facilitate an orderly deregistration due to the Company’s unavailability of resources to complete an audit of its historical financial statements.

(2) 

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).    ☐  Yes    ☒  No

 

The Company has not filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2018, March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

 

(3) 

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    ☒  Yes    ☐  No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

As discussed above, the Company has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and the Company’s consolidated financial statements for several prior fiscal periods should no longer be relied upon. Furthermore, the Company has determined that its previously provided estimates on the impact of any restatement of its consolidated financial statements would require further revision and should not be relied upon.
