PART III
NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Donaldson Company Inc. (the “Company”) is temporarily unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period for reasons described below.

 

The Company’s Compliance Committee received reports from two former employees that revenue for a project in the European Gas Turbine Products business was improperly recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company initiated an internal investigation which verified the substance of the report and identified additional revenue transactions within the European Gas Turbine Products business involving the same improper practices.

 

The Audit Committee of the Board has subsequently engaged independent external counsel and independent forensic accountants to continue the investigation, which is still on-going. Based on the investigation findings to date, the Company concluded that documents were altered with the intent to inappropriately recognize revenue for certain transactions in periods earlier than would be allowable under generally accepted accounting principles. There is also an indication that there may have been purposeful deferring of certain charges from suppliers to later time periods than appropriate.

 

The investigation findings to date suggest that the revenue transactions were all valid, but revenue was inappropriately recognized in an accelerated manner during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and the second and third quarters of fiscal 2015. Based on the investigation findings to date, the Company believes that the financial statement misstatements were immaterial, however the investigation is still on-going and it is uncertain as to whether additional misstatements will be found, either in revenue or other accounts. The Company has begun taking remedial actions in response to the discovery of these practices.

 

Once the investigation is completed, including the evaluation of its findings, the Company expects to complete its assessments as to the impacts to the financial statements and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and file its Form 10-K.

 

The Company wishes to caution investors that any forward-looking statements (such as those identified by words such as “believe,” “expect” or similar expressions) are subject to uncertainties and other risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements, including but not limited to risks associated with the timing and outcome of the Audit Committee’s investigation, including the possible identification of additional facts that could have an impact on the Company’s historical or future financial results. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
