On September 11, 2018, USA Technologies and management announced they would not timely file the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
More specifically, they explained: “The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, is in the process of conducting an internal investigation of current and prior period matters relating to certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements.”
This news drove the price of USA Technologies shares down $6.10, or almost 40%, to close at $9.20 that day.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and on whether Defendants misstated USA Technologies’ revenue and other accounts,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
