6.05 Debt and equity notes: interim-report wording and a grammar slip
Company D · a US-listed cloud communications software company · Drafting slip
In brief
The Capped Calls paragraph in Note 7 refers to the "condensed consolidated balance sheets", wording from the quarterly reports; the annual statements are full consolidated balance sheets. Note 9 says "holder of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share" (holders). Both slips were also in the prior-year 10-K.

What the filing shows, and what the rule requires
| What the filing shows | What the rule requires |
|---|---|
Note 7: "recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets"; Note 9: "holder of Class B common stock are entitled". | "in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets"; "holders of Class B common stock are entitled". |
| What we checked. Notes 7 to 13 read in full; prior-year 10-K notes compared | |
Why it matters
Cosmetic; a careful reader may question whether the annual statements are condensed.
Exposure
None.
Our workings
the two phrases are printed as quoted.
the first is carried over from the Form 10-Q template and the second is a grammar slip; neither changes any figure or measurement.
Management’s best defense, and our reply
Management would say the words are cosmetic and that the statements are plainly the full audited annual statements. That is right, which is why the point is only a drafting slip to correct in the next filing.
The fix
- Delete 'condensed' in the Capped Calls paragraph and read 'holders of Class B common stock are entitled'.
