Section 4 -Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On November 18, 2005, LSB determined that it will be required to restate its previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004. As a result of this restatement LSB's management and its Audit Committee determined that LSB's prior financial statements for year ended December 31, 2004 should therefore no longer be relied upon. The restatement is due to a change from LIFO to FIFO method of accounting for certain inventory of heat pump products within our Climate Control segment in accordance with APB Opinion No. 20. The effect for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, will be decrease reported net income in 2004 and 2003 by $503,000 and $198,000, respectively, and increase 2002 net income by $23,000. LSB did not disclose this change in its 2004 financial statements since LSB believed that this was not a material change pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin 99.
LSB's management and its Audit Committee have discussed with LSB's independent auditors the decision to restate and that the prior financial statements for year ended December 31, 2004, should no longer be relied upon.
