During the call, Weigand stated that the company is "working diligently to select a new independent registered public accounting firm and complete our fiscal year audit," adding that they remain focused on resolving audit and reporting matters "as quickly as possible." He declined to address further questions about the special committee's findings or the audit timeline during the call. Weigand also discussed the company's financial position, noting that in the prior eight to nine months Supermicro raised approximately $4 billion via two equity raises and a convertible, which he said left the company with a strong working capital position exiting Q4.
