The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

As a result of an investigation by the Special Investigation Committee and the Company's own review, widespread improper accounting treatments were identified involving inventory, sales, the scope of consolidation, asset retirement obligations, capitalization of assets and impairment, among other matters. The Company determined that deficiencies existed in entity-level internal controls, business processes, and the closing and financial reporting processes, and that these deficiencies were highly likely to have a material impact on financial reporting.
