DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2000
Berman, DeValerio & Pease LLP
a law firm specializing in
representing shareholders in class
action lawsuits, issues the following
press release:
Accelr8 Technology Corporation ("Accelr8" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ACLY) is resumed trading on NASDAQ today. The stock price is trading at below $1 per share. Accelr8 and certain of its executives are charged with violating the federal securities laws. Berman, DeValerio & Pease, LLP, www.bermanesq.com, has filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on June 8, 2000 to recover money damages for Accelr8 investors. The class action is on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased the common stock of Accelr8 during the period of September 15, 1997 through and including November 16, 1999 (the "Class Period") and who suffered losses on their investments.
The complaint alleges that the defendants materially overstated the Company's revenue, improperly recognized revenue relating to licensing and maintenance fees, and failed to amortize capitalized software development costs. It also claims that the Company failed to disclose that Accelr8's Navig8 2000 software, created to fix the millennium bug (where computers may read the year 2000 as 1900 and malfunction), was in fact only available to a computer system manufactured by Digital Equipment Corp. ("DEC"), and was not available as a general Year 2000 remediation tool to the total universe of the programs that need Year 2000 solutions, contrary to the Company's repeated assertions during the Class Period.
When these accounting violations came to light, the Company's auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche"), informed the Company that their audit report, dated September 15, 1998, on the Company's financial statements for the years ended July 31, 1997 and 1998 should no longer be relied upon, and resigned as Accelr8's auditors. Trading in Accelr8's stock, which had traded as high as $27 during the Class Period, is now below $1 per share meaning that investors who purchased the stock during the Class Period have allegedly suffered substantial damages.
