SHAREHOLDER ALERT: The Law Firm of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Launches an Investigation into Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty by Maxwell Technologies, Inc.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (“Maxwell Technologies” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: MXWL) securities concerning possible violations of securities laws.

“arrangements with certain distributors regarding the payment terms for sales to such distributors”

On March 7, 2013, the Company acknowledged that many of its financial statements—included those for the year ended December 31, 2011 and all unaudited quarterly reports on Form 10-Q in 2011 and 2012—should no longer be relied upon. Maxwell Technologies cited errors related to the timing of revenue recognition of sales to certain distributors.

Specifically, the auditing committee discovered “arrangements with certain distributors regarding the payment terms for sales to such distributors” which resulted in a possible lack of a fixed or determinable sales price at the time of the shipment to these distributors. As a result of the possible lack of determinable sales prices, revenue from such sales should not have been recognized at the time of shipment. The restatement of Maxwell Technologies finances may decrease revenues by more than $6 million for 2011 alone.
