TUALATIN, Ore., May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CUI Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUI) today announced that on May 9, 2014, the Company's management, in consultation with its Audit Committee concluded that the Company's previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on August 14, 2013 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, which was filed with the SEC on November 13, 2013 and its audited annual consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2013 contained in Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014 should no longer be relied upon, and should be restated due to the following error as described below:

With regards to the purchase price allocation for the April 1, 2013 acquisition of our wholly owned subsidiary, Orbital Gas Systems, Ltd. (Orbital), the Company has determined that a deferred tax liability and the related increase in goodwill were not recognized at acquisition due to a misapplication of accounting for business combinations and income taxes.

The error has no impact on cash or cash-flow; however, the correction of the error is expected to increase the deferred tax liability and goodwill by $3,671,614 at the date of Orbital's acquisition and reduces our net loss by $142,455, $522,971 and $150,136 for the quarters ended June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $815,562 for the full year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company plans to amend its previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2013 as soon as practicable.

As explained by CUI Global Inc.'s president & CEO, William Clough, "While it is disappointing to have to file this restatement, we are pleased that this error will have no impact on cash or cash flow and a positive impact on our net loss – Decreasing the net loss for FY2013 by $815,562 or approximately $0.04 per share."
