Company conduction investigation into its practices of granting stock options to employees Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM), the maker of the popular BlackBerry wireless device, became one of the latest technology companies to warn that a stock-options investigation will delay the filing of its financial results.The company publicly revealed last month that it had embarked on an internal voluntary review of its practices around the granting of stock options to employees. The review, which is not completed, has been carried out by an audit committee consisting of independent directors on the company’s board, assisted by external legal counsel and accounting consultants.RIM said late Friday that it expects that filing of its fiscal 2007 second-quarter financial results for the period ended Sept. 2 will be delayed while the review is completed. The company had put out preliminary second-quarter results on Sept. 28 and is supposed to file the final version of the financials Tuesday. So far, the committee has determined that RIM made accounting errors in relation to stock options granted between fiscal 1998 and the present day necessitating the restatement of some of its previous financial statements.The committee has also discovered a technical error relating to the difference between the application of U.S. and Canadian accounting rules that existed in RIM’s stock option plan before February 2002. RIM, which has headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, lists its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the U.S. Nasdaq Stock Market. Software DevelopmentSmall and Medium Business
