Novell uncovers 10 years of stock accounting errors
As it is, Novell has yet to file its financial reports for the quarters ended July 31, 2006 and January 31, 2007, as well as for the financial year ended October 31, 2006. The company faces delisting from the Nasdaq national market, although a decision on that has been stayed pending further action by the Nasdaq Listing Council.
