Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. ("Valley Forge") is an American company that allegedly manufactures and sells security and counter-terrorism products such as devices capable of detecting explosives, drugs, and micro-organisms.

According to the Complaint, it is alleged that Defendants intentionally and/or with deliberate recklessness engaged in a manipulative course of business conduct in which they falsely represented to the investing public that all of their revenues were derived from the sale of aerospace devices, called momentum wheels, when in fact its revenues were largely derived from illegally exporting military semiconductors to Hong Kong.

Defendants failed to disclose to investors their unlawful exportation of semiconductors to Hong Kong or explain to investors that its cash holdings were the fruits of illegal activities that could be seized at any time. In addition, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that its export activities were subject to United States arms control regulations that could seriously and negatively impact the price of Valley Forge’s common stock. Upon disclosure of the U.S. Attorney’s investigation and seizure of Valley Forge’s cash holdings, the Company’s common stock price plummeted by more than fifty percent.
