Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was having difficulties collecting certain receivables; (2) that certain of the Company's receivables were uncollectible; (3) that, as a result, the Company's revenues and receivables were overstated during the Class Period; (4) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements and reported financial results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
