A class action has been filed against logistics provider Stonepath Group Inc. (AMEX: STG) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company’s common stock between May 7, 2003 and September 20, 2004. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company’s securities. The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their stock.
The complaint charges Stonepath and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented that it had understated its accrued purchased transportation liability and related costs of purchased transportation rendering the Company's financial statements materially false and misleading because they understated the Company's liabilities and expenses, and overstated the Company's net income and earning before income, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (``EBITDA''). As a result of the above, the Company's reported financial results were in violation of GAAP. On September 20, 2004, the Company announced its intention to restate its fiscal year 2003 and first and second quarter 2004 financial statements. As a result of this news, the price of Stonepath stock dropped 46% from September 19, 2004, and closed at $0.86 per share on heavy trading volume.
