According to the lawsuit, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors:(1) Defendant Petit, the “financial expert” on Intelligent Systems’ Audit Committee engaged in accounting fraud as the CEO of MiMedx Group, Inc.; (2) Intelligent Systems’ CEO, Defendant Strange, engaged in undisclosed related-party transactions with Defendant Petit and others and had an undisclosed personal relationship with the Company’s auditor; (3) Intelligent Systems had its employees set up or take control of shell companies in Asia so they could partake in undisclosed related-party transactions for the purpose of either fabricating revenue for the Company and/or siphoning money out of the Company; and (4) as a result, defendants’ statements about Intelligent Systems’ business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On May 24, 2019, before market hours, Aurelius Value published a report “INS: A Wolf in Pete’s Clothing.” The report discussed MiMedx Group’s disclosures concerning Defendant Petit and also accused the Company’s CEO, Defendant Strange, inter alia, of engaged in undisclosed related-party transactions with Defendant Petit and others and of an undisclosed personal relationship with INS’s auditor, Nicolas Cauley.
On this news, shares of INS fell $4.18 per share, or more than 10% to close at $34.93 per share on May 24, 2019, damaging investors.
On May 30, 2019, before the market opened, Grizzly Research LLC issued a report entitled “Intelligent Systems Corp: Material Undisclosed Related Party Transactions Cast Doubt on the Integrity of Financial Statements.” The report presented evidence that “Intelligent Systems Corp. (INS) has its employees set up or take control of undisclosed shell companies in Asia, who then partake in undisclosed related party transactions with INS intended to either round-trip revenue back to INS or siphon money out of the company.” It further stated that “there is a possibility that all revenue growth since January 2018 has been a result of undisclosed round-trip transactions with Indian related parties.”
On this news, shares of INS fell $6.82 from the prior day's closing price of $33.81 or over 20%, to close at $26.99 per share on May 30, 2019.
