| Allegations: |
The complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by issuing numerous positive statements concerning the Company's ability to grow its revenues and earnings at a rapid pace and the strong demand that existed for the Company's products, especially at its Health Resource division. In truth and in fact, however, the Company was experiencing a slowdown in its revenue growth because its pharmaceutical clients had curtailed their spending on promotional items, such as the Company's newsletters, and retail pharmacies had become more cautious about participating in the Company's advertising programs and had reduced their distribution of the Company's health newsletters. When these facts were belatedly disclosed by the Company on October 1, 2002, the price of Catalina common stock fell from $27.97 per share to close at $17.90 per share -- a drop of 36% -- on extremely heavy trading volume.
