On October 9, 2016, the law firm, Pomerantz, LLP announced<\/a> that they are filing a class action lawsuit against Power Solutions International, Inc. (PSI) and certain offices of the company.\u00a0 The lawsuit that has been filed is on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased PSI securities between the dates of May 8, 2015 through August 15, 2016.\u00a0 There is a deadline of October 21, 2016 to enter into this lawsuit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that PSI made false and misleading statements as well as failing to disclose facts about the company\u2019s business, operations and prospects.\u00a0 In a specific instance, the company inappropriately recognized revenue for certain transactions; lacked controls over financial reports; made false and misleading statements to the public.<\/p>\n

On August 15, 2016, it was reported that the company issued a press release stating that the needed additional time to file their quarterly report with the SEC.\u00a0 That quarter period ended on June 30, 2016.\u00a0 As a result of this announcement, PSI lost 9.85% in value dropping $1.52 per share to close at $13.91 per share.<\/p>\n

This class action lawsuit, which is still in the early stages, is very disturbing in many ways.\u00a0 First, it seems that the company did not have the internal controls to report their earnings to the public in a timely manner.\u00a0 Second, the company, even though they went public, made misleading statements and failed to disclose facts about their business, operations and prospects.<\/p>\n

This will be an interesting case to follow as the deadline approaches and afterwards as to how many individuals were defrauded by the company.\u00a0\u00a0 It will also be interesting to see what was withheld from the public and the reasons why.\u00a0 Was this just simply a case of the classic pump and dump stock approach that executives took part in or was this just simply a lack of internal control?\u00a0\u00a0 We shall see in the upcoming future, what really occurred at PSI and what lessons can be learned as a result.<\/p>\n
