OmniVision Technologies, Inc. ("Omnivision" or the Company) is a Chinese company that designs and develops digital imaging products for cell phones and other screens.

The original Complaint charges OmniVision and certain of its officers and directors with violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint alleges that Defendants, during the Class Period, issued a series of material misrepresentations to the market concerning the Company's financial condition thereby artificially inflating the price of OmniVision's common stock. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to Defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that the Company knew or recklessly disregarded the fact that the Company was losing customers to larger rivals such as Micron Technologies, Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., and National Semiconductor Corporation; (2) that the Company knew or recklessly disregarded that its surging growth was hitting a plateau, due to the decline in the customer base; (3) that the Defendants, in order to mask the decline in growth, manipulated the Company's financial results through improper revenue recognition, which was in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; and (4) that as a result, the Company's financial results were materially inflated and inaccurate at all relevant times.

The Complaint further alleges that on or around June 9, 2004, OmniVision announced, before the market opened, that it had rescheduled the release of its fiscal 2004 fourth-quarter and year-end results to June 23, 2004, after the close of the market, from the previously announced date of June 9, 2004. Additionally, OmniVision announced that it was considering the restatement of financial results for certain quarters of fiscal 2004 and, possibly, fiscal 2003. News of this shocked the market. Shares of OmniVision fell $7.84 per share or 30.78 percent on June 9, 2004, to close at $17.63 per share, on unusually high volume.
