ut-oh->IBM Says SEC Investigating How It Booked Some Revenue (Update1)

(Adds IBM's comment in third paragraph.)

June 2 (Bloomberg) -- International Business Machines Corp.,
the world's biggest computer maker, said its revenue recognition
is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
possibly because of a probe of one of the company's customers.
The commission is seeking information on how IBM booked sales
in 2000 and 2001, IBM said in a statement. The probe probably is
related to a separate SEC investigation of a customer of IBM's
Retail Store Solutions unit, Armonk, New York-based IBM said.
IBM said its accounting complies with all regulations and the
company is cooperating with the SEC.
Shares of IBM fell $1.33 to $86 in extended trading after the
report. They had declined 71 cents at 4 p.m. in composite trading
on the New York Stock Exchange.
