Akers Accused of Improperly Recognizing Revenue for Fiscal Year
2017
According to the complaint, on May 21, 2018, Akers disclosed that it
would be unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2018, as it was reviewing the characterization of certain revenue
recognition items. Then, on May 29, 2018, Raymond F. Akers Jr. resigned
as director of the company. On June 1, 2018, Akers filed a Form 8-K in
which the company stated that Mr. Akers had not been fully cooperative
with the company's review of revenue recognition items. On June 5, 2018,
Akers filed a form 8-K/A containing a letter on behalf of Mr. Akers,
which stated that the language in the 8-K regarding Mr. Akers was false,
that Mr. Akers was a whistleblower, and that Mr. Akers' refusal to
approve the 10-K for 2017 prompted the company's current revenue
recognition investigation. Since news of Akers' troubles became public,
Akers' stock fell nearly 30% to close at $0.46 per share on June 6, 2018.
