The lawsuit was brought on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of FUQI, (Nasdaq:FUQI) between May 15, 2009 and March 16, 2010, (the "Class Period"), including the public offering of common stock on August 5, 2009 and seeks remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933.
FUQI engages in the designing, developing, promoting and selling of precious metal jewelry in China. The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants understated the Company's cost of sales and as a result, gross profit and net income were overstated. This violated generally accepted accounting principles "GAAP" and SEC rules. Furthermore, the Company issued false and misleading certifications, required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 attesting to the accuracy of FUQI's financial statement and adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting. On March 16, 2010, after the market closed, FUQI filed a report on Form 8-K with the SEC stating that, it will delay the release of its finalized fourth quarter and year ended 2009 financial results as well as file an extension for the filing of its Form 10-K for 2009.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all persons who purchased the common stock of FUQI between May 15, 2009 and March 16, 2010, including purchases pursuant or traceable to a secondary offering on August 5, 2009, inclusive.
