MMM+B and its co-counsel were appointed by the
Court to represent thousands of investors in Cardinal
Health. The complaint in this securities class action
alleges that Cardinal, and certain of its officers and
directors issued materially false statements concerning
the company's financial condition. Specifically,
defendants failed to disclose: (i) that Cardinal
manipulated various aspects of its accounting
practices to continuously portray profitability to
market; (ii) that Cardinal held inventory for an average
of two months, and reaped exorbitant profits from
price inflation; (iii) Cardinal improperly accounted
for the $22 million recovered from Vitamin makers
accused of overcharging Cardinal by booking such
recoveries as revenue when the antitrust cases had
not been resolved; and (iv) that Cardinal's
pharmaceutical distribution business improperly
classified revenues by reporting the revenues as
either operating revenue or revenues form bulk
deliveries to consumer warehouses when revenues
were not derived from such. |
