Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Fusion Connect, Inc.

NEW YORK, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has been investigating claims on behalf of investors who purchased shares of Fusion Connect, Inc. ("Fusion Connect" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FSNN).  A complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain executives.  Investors who purchased Fusion Connect shares between August 14, 2018 and April 2, 2019, inclusive (the "Class Period"), may be affected. 

According to the complaint, on April 2, 2019, the Company disclosed that it had "identified accounting errors which resulted in an understatement of expenses" and that the accounting errors "are currently anticipated to be material to the impacted periods."  As a result, Fusion Connect said it will be restating certain financial statements, including its financial statements for the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018, as well as its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.  Additionally, Fusion Connect said that "[a]lthough the company has not determined the precise amount of the required restatements, it currently estimates such amounts to range between $2.3 million and $3 million with respect to the year ended December 31, 2017 and ranging from $3.4 million and $4.1 million and $1.7 million and $2.3 million with respect to the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively."

Following this news, Fusion Connect's stock price fell over 81%, about $0.98 per share, to close at $0.22 per share on April 3, 2019.
