The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Super Micro Computer securities between August 5, 2016 and January 30, 2018 (the "Class Period"). The case, United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers & Allied Workers Local Union No. 8 WBPA Fund v. Super Micro Computer, Inc. et al, No. 3.18-cv-00850 was filed on February 8, 2018.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose: (1) that Super Micro Computer was improperly and illicitly recognizing revenue on certain sales transactions; (2) that the Company failed to implement and maintain the proper internal controls to prevent improper and illicit recognition of revenue; (3) Super Micro Computer's financial results were not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"); (4) Super Micro Computer's revenues and income were artificially inflated as a result of its illicit business practices; (5) that these practices caused the Company to be vulnerable to potential civil and criminal liability, and adverse regulatory action; and (6) that, as a result, the Company' statements about Super Micro Computer's business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Specifically, on August 29, 2017, Super Micro Computer disclosed it required additional time to file its 2017 annual report. Then on September 14, 2017, the Company disclosed it had received a Non-Compliance letter from Nasdaq. Then on October 26, 2017, Super Micro Computer reaffirmed its delay in filing the annual report in question stating that "[i]n connection with the in-process audit of the Company's financial results for the year ended June 30, 2017, a sales transaction was subject to additional inquiry and review." Then on January 30, 2018, after market close, the Company announced it had completed its investigation and would delay the release of its annual report in question.

After these disclosures, Super Micro Computer's share price fell causing harm to investors.
