SEC Prosecutions

Cease-and-Desist Order Against Leading Manufacturer of Hand Held Computers and Related Systems and Two Executives

In the Matter of Telxon Corporation, Gary L. Grand, and James G. Cleveland

  • 2002

Respondents were charged based on improper recognition of $23.1 million in revenue from three transactions in 1998. Telxon’s quarterly revenues were thus inflated by 23%, and a loss of $7.3 million became a falsely stated profit of $4.1 million. The individual respondents were Telxon’s former Vice President of North America sales and controller, and the SEC found that they played relatively minor roles. Primary responsibility rested with the company’s CFO, Kenneth Haver, who was separately charged.
