Item 4.02
|
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
|
EnergySolutions, Inc. (the “Company”) previously reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that the Company had made a formal submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding the accounting treatment for its Zion Station transaction. The Zion Station project is a first-of-its-kind approach to decommissioning developed by the Company, involving accounting treatment that is without prior authority or precedent. On March 23, 2011, after discussions with staff in the SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant, the Company finalized an accounting model for the Zion Station transaction to which the staff has indicated that it will not object.
This accounting treatment differs from the Company’s originally reported accounting treatment as described in its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 (the “Prior Quarterly Financial Statements”). Accordingly, on March 28, 2011, management and the Audit Committee of the Company concluded that the Prior Quarterly Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon. The Company will include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 disclosures reflecting the impact of the application of the revised accounting treatment on its Prior Quarterly Financial Statements.
Management discussed the foregoing matters with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
