Item 8.01                Restated Financial Statements to reflect a Change in Accounting Principle.

 

Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise indicates, all references to the words “Triumph Group,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” refer to Triumph Group, Inc. and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements. This Form 8-K amends the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

 

On April 1, 2009, we retroactively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) No. Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company has amended and restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. This will permit the Company to incorporate these financial statements in future Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. This Form 8-K is being filed to give effect to such amendments and restatements by amending and restating the following sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which amendments and restatements are included as exhibits to, and included in, this Current Report on Form 8-K:

 

·      Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

·      Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

·      Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (including Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

No other information in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 is being amended by this Form 8-K.

 

No other modifications or updates to the disclosures contained herein have been made in this Current Report on Form 8-K for events that occurred after May 22, 2009, the date of filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information in this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.
