July 13, 2006- An investor in shares of InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements made between May 9, 2006, and June 9 , 2006,
The securities class action lawsuit relates to InfoSonics Corporation’s restatement of first quarter 2006 financial statements and claims relating to the InfoSonics Corporation’s distribution of a former manufacturer’s cellular phone in the U.S. The derivative lawsuit relates to InfoSonics Corporation’s restatement of its first quarter 2006 financial statements and a grant of stock options in December 2005.
The original complaint alleged that InfoSonics Corporation and its top officers engaged in a scheme to defraud InfoSonics Corporation investors in violation of the federal securities laws by reporting false financial results on May 8, 2006 for its first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Specifically, the Complaint alleged that defendants knew, or with deliberate recklessness disregarded, that the Company had improperly accounted for warrants issued in connection with a January 2006 private placement which enabled it to report net income of $1.738 million for that quarter. Before the market opened on Monday, June 12, 2006, InfoSonics Corporation a decrease of 32.5%, due to the improper accounting treatment of the warrants. Corporation stock immediately plunged more than 28% that day on extraordinarily high volume.
The Complaint further alleged that, while in possession of material nonpublic information concerning InfoSonics Corporation accounting for the warrants, defendants sold massive amounts of their personal holdings between May 11, 2006 and June 7, 2006 for proceeds exceeding $3 million. Indeed, as Corporation admitted in a Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2006 with the SEC, InfoSonics Corporation had determined by Monday, June 5, 2006 that it would need to restate its previously reported financial results because it had improperly accounted for the warrants. Nevertheless, its Chief Financial Officer and the President of the Company’s Latin American operations continued to sell their personal InfoSonics Corporation stock even after that determination.
