("DEC"), and was not available as a general Year 2000 remediation tool to the total universe of the programs that need Year 2000 solutions, contrary to the Company's repeated assertions during the Class Period.

When these accounting violations came to light, the Company's auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche"), informed the Company that their audit report, dated September 15, 1998, on the Company's financial statements for the years ended July 31, 1997 and 1998 should no longer be relied upon, and resigned as Accelr8's auditors. Trading in Accelr8's stock, which had traded as high as $27 during the Class Period, is now below $1 per share meaning that investors who purchased the stock during the Class Period have allegedly suffered substantial damages.
