The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Nova Lifestyle securities between December 3, 2015 and December 20, 2018 (the "Class Period"). The case, George Barney v. Nova Lifestyle, Inc. et al , No. 18-cv-10725 was filed on December 28, 2018, and has been assigned to Judge Andre Birotte Jr.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) Nova Lifestyle overstated its purported "strategic alliance" with Shanxi Wangqinq to operate as lead designer and manufacturer for all furnishings in Shanxi Wangqinq's planned $460 million senior care center in China; (2) Nova Lifestyle inflated its reported sales in 2016 and 2017 with Shanxi Wangqing and Merlino Lewis LLP; and (3) consequently, Nova Lifestyle’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On December 21, 2018, Andri Capital issued a report on Seeking Alpha stating Nova Lifestyle’s revenues in 2016 and 2017 were overstated because the Company booked sales to a dissolved and nonexistent company. The report further stated that Nova Lifestyle’s purported strategic alliance with Shanxi Wanqing was meant to deceive investors as Shanxi Wanqing was a sham company.
On this news, Nova Lifestyle's share price fell from $0.77 per share on December 20, 2018 to a closing price of $0.46 on December 21, 2018: a $0.31 or a 40.26% drop.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
