Specifically, Defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) Defendants were improperly accounting for the Company's loss reserves, good will and tax accounts; (b) the Defendants lacked the necessary internal controls over financial reporting; (c) consequently, the Company's financial statements were deficient and misleading at relevant times; and (d) based upon the above, the Defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company during the Class Period.
