Read the Complaint

The complaint alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements throughout the Class Period that had the effect of artificially inflating the market price of the Company’s securities.

The statements made by the defendants during the Class Period were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose and misrepresented the following adverse facts which were then known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (a) that the Company was experiencing problems integrating the McCalla and Gen-X acquisitions such that the Company was experiencing rising expenses and was not generating the benefits from the acquisitions that had been represented to investors; (b) that the Company’s Canadian operations were engaged in improper accounting practices, including failing to properly account for customer returns and overstating the value of its inventory, resulting in the Company overstating its revenues and income; (c) that expenses associated with certain of the Company’s discontinued operations were continuing to mount and were increasingly draining cash from the Company; (d) that, as a result of the foregoing, in addition to continued weakness in the Company’s core lines of business, the Company’s financial condition was dramatically eroding such that it was approaching insolvency and would soon have to file for bankruptcy; and (e) based on the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements concerning the Company’s increased sales growth and long term growth prospects.
