According to the filed complaint, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:

  • China Auto failed to maintain adequate internal controls over identifying and reporting certain relationships and related transactions; and  
  • as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On April 2, 2018, China Auto Logistics Inc.  reported that it was unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending  December 31, 2017 because it needed extra time to “ identify certain related party transactions and the impact of such transactions for the preparation of the financial statements for the Form 10-K.” They  also identified a material weakness in its internal controls over “ identifying and reporting certain relationships and related transactions.”

On this news, shares of China Auto Logistics Inc.  fell over 19% to close at $2.79 on April 2, 2018.
