According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ: HMNY) common shares between August 15, 2017, and July 26, 2018, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws.
More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between August 15, 2017, and July 26, 2018, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Helios was touting MoviePass’ valuation and path to profitability, that MoviePass’ business model was not sustainable, that consequently, Helios would run out of cash that Defendants’ actions were only reducing shareholder value, and that as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Helios’ business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
New York, NY based Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. provides a range of information technology (IT) solutions to Fortune 1000 companies and other organizations in the United States. Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $6.7 million in 2016 to $10.44 million in 2017 and that its Net Loss increased from $7.38 million in 2016 to $145.97 million in 2017.
On July 27, 2018, Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. filed a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission acknowledging that an outage of the MoviePass service on July 26, 2018 was due to the Company running out of funds. According to the filing, Helios and Matheson was forced to borrow more than $6 million to resume operations.
