Nasdaq puts Apple on notice

Apple Computer, which has delayed a quarterly regulatory filing amid a stock-options accounting probe, said Friday it has received a letter from Nasdaq warning that it is not in compliance with the exchange's rules. Companies must complete regular Securities and Exchange Commission filings as a requirement of continued listing on the Nasdaq. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said last week it would delay its quarterly filing, pending an inquiry into stock-option grant irregularities.

The Mac maker said it has requested a hearing and will remain listed on the exchange pending that hearing.

"We fully anticipated receipt of this letter," Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton told CNET News.com. "It's a matter of procedure. We're focused on resolving this matter as quickly as possible."

Apple is the best known of dozens of companies that are under inquiry by either the SEC or the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the timing of stock-option grants. The company disclosed in June that it had "discovered irregularities" related to the issuance of certain stock option grants made between 1997 and 2001, including one grant to CEO Steve Jobs. The grant to Jobs was later cancelled, and Apple has said he received no financial gain.

Among the businesses investigating their options practices is CNET Networks, publisher of CNET News.com. In June, CNET received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office. It earlier said it is the subject of an informal inquiry from the SEC. This week, the company said it, like Apple, expects to delay its quarterly SEC filing.

Not really, the spokesmen is right, it is just protocol so unless they are trying to hide something, this was to be expected. At least Apple is investigating and trying to solve the issue as opposed to covering it up and hiding it from the public.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
