On January 8, 2014, the Company disclosed that a former employee had falsified contracts, forcing it to cut its backlog of orders by more than $15 million.  The problems extend back to 2012.  The Company also disclosed that it had paid the employee approximately $250,000 in commissions due to the falsified contracts. 

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
