The filed complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business,
operations, and prospects.

Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that:

• Napco failed to address any material weaknesses with internal controls regarding cost of goods sold ("COGS") and inventory;
• Napco downplayed the severity of material weaknesses regarding their internal controls;
• Napco's unaudited financial statements from September 30, 2022 to the present included
  "certain errors" such as overstating inventory and understanding net COGS, resulting in overstated gross profit, operating income and net income for each period;
• as a result, Napco would need to restate its previously filed unaudited financial statements for certain periods; and
• as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On August 18, 2023, after the market closed, Napco disclosed that its financial statements for fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 should no longer be relied upon. Napco explained that management "identified certain errors related to the Company's calculation of cost of goods inventory for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023" because the Company's costing procedures did not appropriately account for component cost fluctuations. As a result, theCompany disclosed that it overstated its inventories and understated its COGS, and that it overstated gross profit, operating income and net income in each period.

On this news, Napco's stock price fell $17.30, or 45%, to close at $21.11 per share on August 21, 2023.
