ITEM 8. Change in Fiscal Year
On June 21, 1995, the Board of Directors of Northland Cranberries,
Inc. ("Company") approved a change in the Company's fiscal year-end from
March 31 to August 31, effective beginning after a five-month transitional
period ending on August 31, 1995.
In view of the expected changing nature of the Company's business
as it begins to pursue its current business strategy to market and sell
value-added branded and private label cranberry juice, sauce and other
processed consumer cranberry products, the Company's Board of Directors
directed the Company to change its fiscal year-end from March 31 to August
31 in order to correspond the Company's fiscal year with the Company's
anticipated new annual business cycle and to allow the Company to best
match the costs and expenses associated with growing each year's crop with
the revenues expected to be generated from the anticipated sales of the
consumer products produced from such crop. As a result of this fiscal
year-end change, the Company will report its results of operations and
financial condition for its interim transitional quarter ending on June
30, 1995 and for the five-month interim transitional period ending on
August 31, 1995. Consistent with the seasonality of its current business,
the Company expects to report net losses from operations for both interim
transitional periods. The report covering the transitional period from
April 1, 1995 through August 31, 1995 will be provided by the Company to
the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q. After August 31,
1995, the Company will report its results of operations and financial
condition for the fiscal quarters ending on November 30, February 28 or 29
and May 31 of each fiscal year, and for its fiscal year ending August 31.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange of 1934,
the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
