EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cambrex
Corporation (NYSE: CBM) announced today that it is filing a fifteen-day
extension for submission of its 2004 Form 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), as permitted by the 1934 Exchange Act Rule 12b-25,
in order to afford the Company the necessary time to complete the assessment
of its internal controls over financial reporting as required by Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In its January 27, 2005 press release, the Company indicated that it was
analyzing and researching potential accounting adjustments estimated to be
less than $1.5 million on a pre-tax basis and related to prior reporting
periods. The Company has completed its analysis, which along with additional
items subsequently identified, resulted in a $1.3 million cumulative reduction
to previously reported full year 2004 net income.
Of the cumulative $1.3 million adjustment to 2004 net income,
* $1.2 million is related to accounting for leasehold improvements placed
in service in 2003 and prior. Following a review of its lease
accounting treatment and relevant accounting literature, the Company
determined that it should use depreciable lives for its leasehold
improvements that are the shorter of the economic life of the asset or
the non-cancelable lease term.
* $0.1 million is the net amount of adjustments for international taxes
and accruals for inventory and employee benefits.
Of the $1.3 million adjustment, $1.1 million relates to 2004 and $0.2
million relates to prior years. Since the $0.2 million attributable to prior
years was deemed immaterial to the periods in which they occurred, the
adjustment is included in the revised results for the first quarter of 2004.
The following table summarizes the impact of the adjustments on net income
versus previously disclosed results for the periods below.
