May 18, 2009 - An investor in shares of Akeena Solar Incorporated (NASDAQ: AKNS) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Akeena Solar Incorporated over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between December 26, 2007 and March 13, 2008.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that Akeena Solar Incorporated and certain of its officers violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing false and misleading statements regarding Akeena Solar Incorporated’s sales, financial performance and condition between December 26, 2007 and March 13, 2008. Akeena Solar Incorporated made a series of negative disclosures to the market, so the lawsuit against Akeena Solar Incorporated revealed that the credit-line increase announced on December 26, 2007, contained a cash collateral requirement equaling the amount of the extension. Akeena Solar Incorporated reported that its 4Q 2007 sales had significantly missed the sales backlog Akeena Solar Incorporated confirmed existed at the end of its 3Q 2007. On March 13, 2008, Akeena Solar Incorporated finally revealed that actual losses incurred in its 4Q 2007, which had already ended on December 31, 2007, were significantly higher. Its newly-appointed Chief Financial Officer also revealed that his predecessor had been booking as backlog every new installation contract, regardless of whether the customer intended to take delivery within six months or the status of the customer's financing.

As a result of these disclosures, Akeena Solar Incorporated's common stock, which had traded as high as $16.80 on January 7, 2008, fell to $6.15 per share on March 13, 2008. Akeena Solar Incorporated is a designer, integrator and installer of solar power systems. Akeena Solar Incorporated markets, sells, designs and installs systems for residential and commercial customers. Akeena Solar Incorporated is located in Los Gatos, California and had $32.21 million in total revenue in 2007 and $40.76 million in total revenue in 2008.
