Case Status:    DISMISSED    
On or around 11/30/2005 (Date of order of final judgment)

Filing Date: April 12, 2004

Accroding to SEC documents, Sel-Leb Marketing, Inc. ("Sel-Leb" or the Company) is primarily engaged in the distribution and marketing of consumer merchandise to retail sellers such as mass merchandisers, discount chain stores and food, drug and electronic retailers.

The Complaint alleges that Sel-Leb, certain of its officers and directors, and the Company's independent accountants violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading public statements regarding the Company's financial results. Specifically, Sel-Leb and certain of its officers and directors are alleged to have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by filing an annual report on Form 10KSB with the SEC for fiscal year 2001 that reported $443,669 in earnings, when in fact the Company incurred a loss for that year. The Company and the individual Defendants also allegedly made numerous positive statements about Sel-Leb's anticipated record revenues for fiscal year December 31, 2002, when in fact the Company was incurring losses for that year.

Sel-Leb's common stock traded as high as $4.00 per share during the time period relevant to the Complaint. However, when the truth about Sel-Leb's deteriorating business condition was revealed, the Company's shares became worthless.

On August 18, 2004, the Court entered the Order granting the motion to appoint Counsel and lead Plaintiff. On January 5, 2005, the Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Complaint. On November 30, 2005, the Court granted the motions to dismiss and dismissed the case with prejudice.

On December 29, 2005, the Plaintiff filed a notice appealing the Dismissal Order. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's Dismissal Order on September 6, 2007.
