Digital detector developer Schick Technologies of Long Island City, NY, announced last month that it would be late in filing its 10-K report with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will request an extension. Schick expects to post a significant net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, which the company ascribed to increased product returns, doubtful accounts, and inventory obsolescence.

The charge was for $5 million in accounts receivable debt. The company attributed the charge to a number of accounts on which it was unable to collect (SCAN 1/13/99). The firm is also embroiled in several class-action complaints, filed in January by its shareholders, which claim that Schick knowingly misstated its financial condition before announcing the one-time charge (SCAN 1/20/99).
