The Securities Fraud Claims
The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or material omissions, regarding the NAPCO’s business, operations, and prospects, including that: (i) NAPCO failed to address any material weakness with internal controls regarding COGS and inventory; (ii) NAPCO downplayed the severity of material weakness regarding internal controls; (iii) NAPCO’s unaudited financial statements from September 30, 2022 to the present included “certain errors” such as overstating inventory and understanding net COGS, resulting in overstated gross profit, operating income and net income for each period; and (iv) as a result, NAPCO would need to restate its previously filed unaudited financial statements for certain periods.
On August 18, 2023, after the market closed, NAPCO issued a press release announcing that it would restate its unaudited financial statements from September 30, 2022, to the present. On this news, NAPCO’s share price fell $17.30, or 45.04%, to close at $21.11 per share on August 21, 2023, the next trading day, harming investors.
