The complaint alleges that throughout the class period, Defendants issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Adeptus had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the areas of revenue recognition, accounts receivable, accounting for a contribution to an unconsolidated joint venture, and accounting for equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures; and (2) as a result, Defendants' statements about Adeptus' business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
According to the complaint, following a March 2, 2017 filing of a Form 12b-25 announcing the delay in the filing of its Form 10-K and revealing weaknesses in internal controls, the value of Adeptus shares declined more than 50% to close at $2.79 on March 2, 2017.
