Cleveland – December 30, 2008 – Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal first-quarter ended June 30, 2008, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As previously reported on November 20, 2008, in the company’s fiscal second quarter summary earnings release, Agilysys recorded material other income during fiscal 2008 resulting from its minority ownership interest in Magirus AG, a privately held computer systems distributor headquartered in Germany. Because financial information associated with the company’s proportionate share of profits and losses reported by Magirus remained unaudited and unconfirmed, Agilysys was unable to complete preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008.
On November 18, 2008, Agilysys completed the sale of its 20% minority interest in Magirus. Following the divestiture of its investment in Magirus, Agilysys has now been able to complete its audit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
On December 16, 2008, Agilysys filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, with the SEC. Agilysys expects to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008, shortly.
