Yesterday's release by Dell Computer of very preliminary earnings numbers for its previous fiscal quarter may give investors at least a handful of data to help them understand the turmoil from which it may be recovering...if it is recovering. The company doesn't appear to be hemorrhaging, and there seems to be at least some good news. But it's hard not to keep seeing question marks and unresolved issues.

(InfoWorld) - Dell told government regulators on Monday that it cannot file a financial statement for its 401(k) plan, as the company continues to struggle with an investigation of its accounting practices. Dell hasÂ missed the deadlines for filingÂ its past three quarterly earnings reports, called Form 10-Qs, and its annual report, Form 10-K. That has earned it a series of warnings that the Nasdaq stock exchange may stop trading Dell securities. The company's trouble started last year when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission began an investigation into Dell's accounting practices. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has launched a similar effort. To comply with investigators' demands, Dell initiated an internal audit, which has already foundÂ evidence of misconduct and accounting errors. As long as those investigations continue, Dell says its earnings reports will be only preliminary, not officially audited. The company has not yet decided whether it will have to restate past figures, but said in June it was nearing the end of its internal inspection. In the meantime, the company's results continue to sour, as Dell falls farther behind rival Hewlett-Packard in market share. In an effort to recapture profit, DellÂ announced deep layoffs in May, cutting 10 percent of its 88,100 jobs. The latest form Dell missed is for a financial statement called Form 11-k, describing the status of the 401(k) retirement savings plan for Dell Inc. and for Dell Financial Services LP. The company declined to file it because of the ongoing investigation, the same reason it gave for missed deadlines to file recent quarterly earnings reports, said Dell spokesman Bob Pearson. Dell missed the deadline "due to the questions raised in connection with the independent investigation being conducted by the Audit Committee of the company's Board of Directors," the company said in an SEC filing submitted Monday. "Management is committed to resolving the issues raised in connection with the investigation, and is working diligently to file the delayed reports as soon as possible," Dell said. Â

(InfoWorld) - Dell plans to report its third quarter financial results later today once the U.S. stock market closes, after delaying the announcement by nearly a week due to accounting troubles. The PC maker had previously planned to file its earnings on Nov. 16, but said it wasÂ sidetracked by ongoing investigationsÂ from its own internal audit committee and by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into certain accounting and financial reporting matters. The accounting issues come at an awkward time for Dell. The company has reported a string of disappointing financial quarters, and recentlyÂ lost its title as the world's largest PC vendorÂ to Hewlett-Packard. Dell also faces some pressure to report solid earnings on Tuesday, since HP last weekÂ reported its net profit quadrupledÂ compared to a year earlier. Dell plans to release a third quarter earnings statement on Tuesday, but does not plan to host a conference call, it said in a statement. Future earnings announcements will be pushed back by a week compared to Dell's previous schedule. Last week, Dell announced that anÂ SEC inquiry into its accountingÂ had become a formal investigation. The PC company vowed to cooperate with the investigation and regain compliance with all SEC filing requirements as soon as possible.ADVERTISEMENTNEW IT SERVICES FROM IBM: EASIER TO BUY AND IMPLEMENTDiscover a simpler, more cost-effective way to get the solutions your company needs to grow more flexible and efficient.
