Pre-Paid Legal Services confirms SEC inquiry


ADA, Okla. (Reuters) - Pre-Paid Legal Services Inc., which develops and markets legal service plans, said Friday the Securities Exchange Comission requested details about its accounting practices.

Shares of Pre-Paid Legal Services dropped 15.13 percent, or $2.17, to $12.17 on the New York Stock Exchange, below a previous 52-week low of $14.03.

The Ada, Okla.-based company, confirming a Wall Street Journal report, said it was subject to informal SEC inquiries into the nature of accounting for its advances to sales associates.

In February, shareholders filed a class action suit against the company charging that comissions paid to sales people were recorded as assets instead of expenses on financial statements.

Pre-Paid Legal said it was cooperating with the SEC, the informal proceedings do not constitute an investigation, and it could not predict when the inquiry would be resolved.
