| Court: | Northern District of Illinois |
| Allegations: | |
The Complaint charges that Huron and certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false statements regarding Huron's financial results. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company misaccounted for payments made as part of acquisitions.
On July 31, 2009, Huron announced that it would restate its financial results from 2006 through 2008 and the first three months of 2009 due to its failure to properly account for earn-out payments made in connection with four of its acquisitions. As a result, Huron expected to dramatically reduce its revenue reported for the period by 48% from $120 million on an aggregate basis to $63 million. Huron further announced that the SEC had commenced an inquiry into the Company's allocation of chargeable hours related to its recognition of revenue. On this news, Huron's stock fell $30.66 per share to close at $13.69 per share on August 3, 2009, a decline of approximately 69%.
