The original complaint charges Proxima and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the federal securities laws. During the Class Period, the defendants artificially inflated Proxima stock to as high as $39-5/8 per share based on representations that Proxima had successfully developed and was introducing new lighter weight and brighter desktop projectors which would lead to substantial revenue and earnings gains throughout Fiscal 1996 and 1997 and that the development of Proxima's new microlaser projector products was also succeeding and on schedule. However, when Proxima later revealed that it could not produce its newest products in volume due to an inability to obtain satisfactory supplies of polysilicon glass, shortages of metal halide lights and other component part shortages and that this would adversely impact its revenues and earnings, Proxima's stock immediately collapsed to $18-3/4 per share and then continued to fall to $13-1/2.
