A class action has been filed in the Northern District Court of California against SupportSoft, Inc. (NASQAQ: SPRT), a California bases software solutions company, and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between January 20, 2004 and October 1, 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.
Specifically, the complaint alleges the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them:
(1) that the Company failed to close two $4.5 million transactions, due to major flaws in SupportSoft's internal controls;
(2) that the Company was experiencing sales execution issues;
(3) that SupportSoft's product pipeline was heavily weighted toward perpetual deals;
(4) that due to the saturation of the domestic broadband market, the Company was facing a more challenging software spending environment of authorization signatures and longer sales cycles; and
(5) that as a result of the above, the defendants' fiscal 2004 projections were lacking in any reasonable basis when made. On October 4, 2004, SupportSoft announced preliminary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The Company expected total revenues for the third quarter 2004 to be in the range of $11.9 million to $12.3 million versus $13.5 million for the same period last year. GAAP loss per share was expected to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.04, this was well below expectations. News of this announcement caused shares of SupportSoft to fall $3.41 per share, or 35.45 percent, to close at $6.21 per share.
