The reasons the company gives

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

The company has been unable to identify the basis for the Thai SEC's findings regarding the GLH financing transaction, and the Thai authorities' investigation and GL's audit have not yet been completed, so it remains unable to obtain the necessary information.
