Dell in compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements

Dell received a notice that it was in compliance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq
Agam Shah (IDG News Service) 02 November, 2007 08:30:06

After facing delisting on Nasdaq multiple times for failing to file earnings reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on time, Dell announced this week it is fully compliant with the stock exchange's listing requirements.

The company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market that it regained compliance after its filing of restated earnings reports from fiscal 2003 to the first quarter of 2007, the company said. Nasdaq earlier set a deadline of November 12 for Dell to file the earnings reports.

Dell restated its earnings after completing an internal accounting investigation. The company cut its cumulative net income by US$92 million from a previously reported net income of US$12 billion and reduced revenue by US$359 million from the previously reported US$196.2 billion for the restatement period.

The SEC is still investigating Dell for accounting errors for certain periods prior to fiscal year 2006.

Dell is trying to restructure amid the accounting scandal, personnel changes and slow growth in the U.S. PC market. In January, Michael Dell returned as CEO in an effort to revive the company after Kevin Rollins resigned. In May, Dell announced it would cut 10 percent of its workforce. It is also battling Hewlett-Packard, which is closing in on Dell's position as the leading U.S. PC vendor, according to surveys.

    The Microsoft-Yahoo deal: How does it compare? 05 February, 2008 08:42:34

    See how the deal compares to memorable high-tech acquisitions by Microsoft's main competitors
    Even by the bloated standards of high-tech mergers and acquisitions, Microsoft's proposed purchase of Yahoo appears to be the largest ever among technology firms. It is certainly Microsoft's largest. The company mostly buys smaller firms for less than a billion dollars to fill in gaps in its product lineup. But that may be changing. Last year, for instance, Microsoft bought Seattle online advertising firm aQuantive for US$6 billion, its largest ever until the long-rumored Yahoo deal was unveiled on Friday.
