ZI INVESTOR ALERT: Hagens Berman, National Trial Attorneys, Encourages ZoomInfo (ZI) Investors with Losses to Contact Its Attorneys Now, Firm Investigating Admitted Improper Accounting

PR Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hagens Berman urges ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ZI) investors with significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm is investigating possible securities law violations and certain investors may have valuable claims.

Relevant Holding Period: Before Nov. 10, 2020

 ZoomInfo Technologies (ZI) Investigation:

Hagens Berman is investigating ZoomInfo’s compliance with accounting rules (“GAAP”) governing the reporting of certain tax benefits. 

More specifically, on Nov. 9, 2020, ZoomInfo announced that on Nov. 5, 2020 its audit committee of the board of directors concluded the company’s Q2 2020 financial statements filed with the SEC should not be relied on.

ZoomInfo further revealed it would restate those results because it improperly recorded a $21.6 million tax benefit related to the GAAP basis and tax basis of partnerships owned by corporations within ZoomInfo’s corporate structure. As a result of this improper accounting, ZoomInfo understated its Q2 2020 net loss by over 38%.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether ZoomInfo intentionally manipulated the GAAP/tax basis differential of certain assets to present a misleading picture of the company’s true financial results,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

If you are a ZoomInfo investor and have significant losses, or have knowledge that may assist the firm’s investigation, click here to discuss your legal rights with Hagens Berman.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding ZoomInfo should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 844-916-0895 or email [email protected].

MPLN INVESTOR ALERT: Hagens Berman, National Trial Attorneys, Encourages MultiPlan (MPLN) Investors with Losses to Contact Its Attorneys Now, Firm Investigating Possible Securities Fraud

PR Newswire

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hagens Berman urges MultiPlan Corporation (NYSE: MPLN) investors with significant losses to submit your losses now.  The firm is investigating possible securities fraud and certain investors may have valuable claims.

Relevant Holding Period: Before Nov. 11, 2020
Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/MPLN

MultiPlan Corporation (MPLN) Investigation:

The investigation centers on MultiPlan’s financial disclosures leading up to- and through- its merger and going public transaction with special purpose acquisition (“SPAC”) company Churchill Capital Corp. III.

More specifically, Hagens Berman is investigating the company’s and its sponsor’s statements about MultiPlan’s client base and revenues.

On Nov. 11, 2020, Muddy Waters Capital published a scathing report, “MultiPlan: Private Equity Necrophilia Meets The Great 2020 Money Grab,” based in part on its interviews of former MultiPlan executives. 

Among other things, Muddy Waters observes: (1) the company and its sponsors concealed the impending loss of MultiPlan’s largest client (“UnitedHealthcare”, or “UHC”) due to UHC’s formation of a competitor (“Naviguard”) that offers significantly lower prices and fewer conflicts of interest; (2) MultiPlan’s financials “have been financially engineered to obscure the decay in its business;” and, (3) “[w]e understand that in 2018, MPLN released revenue reserves, dropping them from approximately 30% to 10% of revenue, which we believe enabled MPLN to show 2018 EBITDA growth amid shrinking sales.”

Concluding, Muddy Waters states “MPLN paints a rosy picture of its prospects, but these are inconsistent with the facts: its revenue peaked in 2017, and Naviguard is never once mentioned by management as a threat” and “we are concerned that management’s strategy carries the potential to bankrupt MPLN.”

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether MultiPlan misrepresented its client base and revenues,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding MultiPlan should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.  Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.  For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 844-916-0895 or email mailto:[email protected].

Avcorp announces 2020 Third Quarter Financial Results

PR Newswire

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Avcorp Industries Inc. (TSX: AVP) (the “Company”, “Avcorp” or the “Avcorp Group”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. All amounts are in Canadian currency unless otherwise stated.

2020 Third Quarter Highlights

Key financial results include:

  • Third quarter 2020 revenue was $33,769,000 compared to $37,437,000 in 2019. 2020 revenue decreased by $3,668,000 because of lower deliveries caused by lower customer requirements due to the novel Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and 737 MAX grounding.
  • Third quarter 2020 defense program related revenue was $20,848,000 compared to $13,737,000 in 2019, a strong growth of $7,111,000.
  • Third quarter 2020 net loss was $1,263,000 compared to net loss of $7,511,000 in 2019. Net loss improved in comparison to 2019 due to higher gross profit, savings in administrative and general expenses and the receipts of government support.
  • Third quarter 2020 foreign exchange gain was $712,000 (September 30, 2019: $171,000 loss). The Canadian dollar strengthened against the US dollar resulting in a gain predominately from the translation of the Company’s US dollar denominated Bank indebtedness and Term debt.
  • Third quarter 2020 cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital was $2,021,000 (September 30, 2019: cash outflow of $3,509,000). Third quarter 2020 cash flows from operating activities increased by $4,104,000 relative to 2019, after the cash receipts from Canada Emergency Wage Subsidies and other government grants of $1,426,000 have been removed.
  • Third quarter 2020, the Company repaid $4,744,000 of bank indebtedness (September 30, 2019: Nil) and paid trade payables down to $11,829,000 (December 31, 2019: $23,201,000).
  • BAE Systems awarded the Company a contract for the assembly of the F-35 Carrier Variant Outboard Wing. The total awards are approximately $87 million extending Avcorp’s current long-term contract with BAE systems into 2022.
  • In July 2020, the Company received an additional Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy of $1,231,000.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End

  • On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing operating credit facility with a Canadian Chartered Bank whereby the maximum availability under the Loan agreement cannot exceed USD $68,000,000 less USD $1,000,000 until December 31, 2020 and thereafter less USD $2,300,000 providing additional liquidity.
  • In October and November 2020, the Company received an additional Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy of $1,077,000.

Review of 2020 Third Quarter Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Avcorp Group recorded losses from operations totaling $326,000 from $33,769,000 revenue, as compared to losses from operations totaling $5,164,000 from $37,437,000 revenue from the same quarter in the previous year.  The third quarter 2020 operating loss decreased in comparison to 2019 by $3,721,000 after the removal of the onerous contracts provision of $Nil (September 30, 2019: $408,000 income), and government grants of $1,525,000 in 2020.  The decrease in operating loss is due to continued operational improvement, cost reduction initiatives and the change in program revenue mix.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, cash flows from operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non–cash working capital and $1,426,000 of Canada Emergency Wage and other government subsidies, provided $595,000 of cash as compared to utilization of $3,509,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

As at September 30, 2020, the Company had $6,606,000 cash on hand (December 31, 2019: $4,316,000) and had utilized $82,808,000 of its operating line of credit (December 31, 2019: $84,661,000).  The Company has a working capital deficit of $92,484,000 as at September 30, 2020, compared with $71,561,000 deficit as at December 31, 2019.  Working capital surplus/deficit is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.  The Company’s accounts receivable, contract assets, and inventories net of accounts payable, amount to a $20,546,000 surplus as at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $18,542,000 surplus).  The Company’s accumulated deficit as at September 30, 2020 is $155,465,000 (December 31, 2019: $142,194,000).

.

According to the complaint, Raytheon is an aerospace and defense company providing advanced systems and services for commercial, military, and government customers worldwide. On April 3, 2020, United Technologies Corporation and Raytheon Company completed a merger and changed “Raytheon Company” to “Raytheon Technologies Corporation.”

The Class Period commences on February 10, 2016, when Raytheon Company published its annual report on a Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which stated in relevant part, “we maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly executed and recorded. The system includes policies and procedures, internal audits and our officers’ reviews.”

Concerns regarding Raytheon’s financial accounting and internal controls over financial reporting were revealed after market hours on October 27, 2020, when Raytheon filed its quarterly report on a Form 10-Q with the SEC for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Form 10-Q reported that “[o]n October 8, 2020, [Raytheon] received a criminal subpoena from the [U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”)] seeking information and documents in connection with an investigation relating to financial accounting, internal controls over financial reporting, and cost reporting regarding Raytheon Company’s Missiles & Defense business since 2009.”

Following this news, the price of Raytheon shares fell $4.19 per share, or 7%, to close at $52.34 per share on October 28, 2020.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Raytheon had inadequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) Raytheon had faulty financial accounting; (3) as a result, Raytheon misreported its costs regarding Raytheon Company’s Missiles & Defense business since 2009; (4) as a result of the foregoing, Raytheon was at risk of increased scrutiny from the government; (5) as a result of the foregoing, Raytheon would face a criminal investigation by the DOJ; and (6) as a result, the defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

If you wish to discuss this securities fraud class action lawsuit or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests with respect to this litigation, please contact Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check (James Maro, Jr., Esq. or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (844) 877-9500 (toll free) or (610) 667–7706, or via e-mail at [email protected].

Raytheon investors may, no later than December 29, 2020, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. 

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check prosecutes class actions in state and federal courts throughout the country involving securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state and federal law. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check is a driving force behind corporate governance reform, and has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of institutional and individual investors from the United States and around the world.  The firm represents investors, consumers and whistleblowers (private citizens who report fraudulent practices against the government and share in the recovery of government dollars).  The complaint in this action was not filed by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check.

DEADLINE ALERT: Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. Reminds Investors That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Nano-X Imaging Ltd. and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm, reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of investors that purchased Nano-X Imaging Ltd. (NASDAQ: NNOX) securities between August 21, 2020 and September 15, 2020 (the “Class Period”). Investors have until November 16, 2020 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Click here to participate in the action.

On September 15, 2020, Citron Research (“Citron”) published the report entitled, “Nano-X Imaging (NNOX) A Complete Farce on the Market – Theranos 2.0” (the “Citron Report”). The Citron Report summarized Nano-X as “this $3 billion company is nothing more than a science project with a simple rendering, minimal R&D, fake customers, no FDA approval, and fraudulent claims that are beyond the realm of possibility.”

On this news, Nano-X’s stock price fell $12.41 per share, or more than 25%, over the next two trading days to close at $36.80 per share on September 16, 2020.

The complaint, filed on September 16, 2020, alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Nano-X’s commercial agreements and its customers were fabricated; (2) Nano-X’s statements regarding its “novel” Nanox System were misleading as the Company never provided data comparing its images with images from competitors’ machines; (3) Nano-X’s submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration admitted the Nanox System was not original; and (4) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

If you purchased Nano-X securities during the Class Period and suffered a loss, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker, Melissa Fortunato, or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.

United Launch Alliance Successfully Launches NROL-101 Mission in Support of National Security

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket carrying the NROL-101 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) lifted off on Nov. 13 at 5:32 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

“Thank you to our mission partners, the NRO and the United States Space Force for their continued confidence and partnership with ULA,” said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of Government and Commercial Programs. “This launch was the inaugural launch of our new GEM 63 solid rocket motors, an instrumental step for ULA to build flight experience in preparation for the Vulcan Centaur, our next generation launch vehicle.”

The NROL-101 mission was the first ULA launch flying the new Northrop Grumman Graphite Epoxy Motors (GEM) 63 solid rocket boosters that burn solid propellant and augment the lifting capacity of rocket’s first stage. The GEM 63s measure 63 in. (1.6 meters) in diameter and 66 ft. (20.11 meters) in length. Each GEM 63 produced 371,550 pounds (1.6 mega-Newtons) of max thrust to augment the 860,200 pounds (3.83 mega-Newtons) of thrust produced by the RD-180 main engine to power the Atlas V rocket skyward. At liftoff, the combined thrust was nearly 1.8 million pounds or 8 million mega-Newtons. 

The mission launched on an Atlas V 531 that included a 17 ft. (5 meter) payload fairing. The Atlas booster for this mission was powered by the RD AMROSS RD-180 engine. Aerojet Rocketdyne provided the RL10C-1 engine for the Centaur upper stage.

This was the 86th launch of the Atlas V rocket and the 71st Atlas V to launch from Space Launch Complex-41 in Florida.

ULA’s next launch is the NROL-44 mission for the NRO from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

To date ULA has launched 141 times with 100 percent mission success.

With more than a century of combined heritage, ULA is the nation’s most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered 140 missions to orbit that aid meteorologists in tracking severe weather, unlock the mysteries of our solar system, provide critical capabilities for troops in the field, deliver cutting-edge commercial services and enable GPS navigation. For more information on ULA, visit the ULA website at www.ulalaunch.com, or call the ULA Launch Hotline at 1-877-ULA-4321 (852-4321).
