Item 2.02.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On October 28, 2015, Westell Technologies, Inc. (the Company or Westell) issued a press release setting forth the financial results for its fiscal year 2016 second quarter ended September 30, 2015. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 2.06.
MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS
The disclosure set forth in Item 4.02 below is incorporated by reference.
Item 4.02.

NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW


On October 27, 2015, Westell’s Audit Committee, after consultation with management and Ernst & Young LLP, Westell’s independent auditors, concluded that the financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the quarterly periods within these years, as well as the quarter ended June 30, 2015, should no longer be relied upon.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded a $10,555 thousand non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill. The $10,555 thousand of goodwill arose from the purchase accounting for the Kentrox acquisition, which closed on April 1, 2013. However, we determined that the goodwill arising from the Kentrox acquisition should have been $895 thousand higher, or $11,450 thousand, due to an unrecorded liability of $1,445 thousand related to a contractual obligation that existed prior to the acquisition. Because the unrecorded liability creates a deferred tax asset of $550 thousand at acquisition date, we have concluded that our income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 should have been $550 thousand lower, and the goodwill impairment for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 should have been $895 thousand higher.

The restatement does not impact the fiscal year-to-date 2016 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The restatement is expected to change the following line items in our previous fiscal years Consolidated Statement of Operations as follows(amounts in thousands, except EPS):

NEWS RELEASE

Westell Technologies Reports Second Quarter Revenue of $25.5 million

Sequential revenue growth of 18% and gross margin of 40%

AURORA, IL, October 28, 2015 – Westell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTL), a leading provider of in-building wireless, intelligent site management, cell site optimization, and outside plant solutions, today announced results for its fiscal 2016 second quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Consolidated revenue was $25.5 million, consisting of $10.8 million from the In-Building Wireless (IBW) segment and $14.7 million from the Communication Solutions Group (CSG) segment. Both IBW and CSG segment revenues were up sequentially, increasing 19% and 18%, respectively.
“We made good progress in the fiscal second quarter in executing our growth and operational turnaround strategy. We achieved solid top and bottom line improvements, including double-digit sequential revenue increases for our intelligent site management and tower-mounted amplifier product lines,” said Tom Gruenwald, Chairman and CEO of Westell Technologies. “Our non-GAAP operating expenses rose this quarter as we are making the necessary changes in our sales organization to increase customer engagement, and we also recently appointed a Chief Technology Officer to guide our product evolution strategy. These are important investments that position Westell to expand market opportunities and drive future revenue growth.”

On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a net loss in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 of $2.5 million or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million or $0.06 per share in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company recorded a net loss in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 of $0.7 million or $0.01 per share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.0 million or $0.03 per share in the prior quarter. Please refer to the schedule at the end of this release for a complete GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation and other information related to non-GAAP measures.

Cash and short-term investments were $36.4 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $36.9 million at June 30, 2015. The net cash use during the quarter was primarily the result of capital expenditures associated with our ClearLink DAS project, partly offset by positive operating cash flow due to a reduced net loss and lower inventory.
In-Building Wireless (IBW) Segment
IBW segment revenue was $10.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, up 19% from $9.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The sequential increase was driven by higher revenues across all product categories - DAS conditioners, repeaters, and ancillary products - and included record quarterly sales of our active DAS conditioner, the Universal DAS Interface Tray (UDIT). Gross profit was $4.5





million and gross margin was 42.0%, compared to $4.0 million and 44.1% in the prior quarter. Gross profit increased due to the higher revenue while gross margin decreased slightly due to a less favorable mix. IBW R&D expenses were $2.8 million, compared to $3.2 million in the prior quarter. As a result, IBW segment profit was $1.8 million, compared to segment profit of $0.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Communication Solutions Group (CSG) Segment
CSG segment revenue was $14.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, up 18% from $12.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The sequential increase was driven by higher revenues across all product categories - intelligent site management (ISM), tower mounted amplifiers, and outside plant solutions - including the highest quarterly revenue level for ISM since December 2013. Gross profit was $5.7 million and gross margin was 38.7% compared to $4.4 million and 35.4% in the prior quarter. Gross profit and gross margin increased due primarily to the higher revenue. CSG R&D expenses were $1.9 million in both the current and prior quarter. As a result, CSG segment profit was $3.8 million, compared to $2.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

The Company conforms to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the preparation of its financial statements. The schedules above reconcile the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The adjustments share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and the Company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business; they do not involve the expenditure of cash; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the Company's control. Management believes that these non-GAAP results provide meaningful supplemental information to investors and indicate the Company's core performance and that they facilitate comparison of results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results.
 
(1)
Reflects unaudited adjustment to correct previously unidentified error.
(2)
On April 1, 2013 and March 1, 2014, the Company purchased Kentrox and Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI), respectively. These acquisitions required the step-up of certain assets to fair value, which resulted in cost that will not recur once those assets have fully settled. The adjustments remove the increased costs associated with the third-party sales of inventory that was stepped-up and the step-down on acquired deferred revenue that was recognized.
(3)
The Company recorded a non-cash charge during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to record the impairment of the full carrying value of the Company's goodwill related to the Kentrox acquisition.
(4)
Amortization of intangibles is a non-cash expense arising from the acquisition of intangible assets.
(5)
Restructuring expenses are not directly related to the ongoing performance of our fundamental business operations. This adjustment also includes severance benefits related to the departure of certain former executives.
(6)
Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense incurred in accordance with share-based compensation accounting standards.
(7)
The release of contingent liabilities related to the sale of ConferencePlus are presented as discontinued operations.
