Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Investigates American Apparel, Inc
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential claims against American Apparel, Inc. for potential violations of the state and federal securities laws.
[USPRwire, Thu Aug 12 2010] Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential claims against American Apparel, Inc. (“American Apparel” or the “Company”) (AMEX: APP) for potential violations of the state and federal securities laws. Concerned shareholders should contact Joseph Levi at 877-363-5972 or by email at jlevi@zlk.com for more information.
On March 31, 2010, American Apparel disclosed an audit report issued by Deloitte & Touche, LLP (“Deloitte”) which identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. These weaknesses led to deficiencies in the analyzing and recording of certain inventory costs, cost of sales, and the preparation of account analyses, account summaries and account reconciliations. The Company also did not perform adequate and independent reviews and maintain effective controls over the preparation of its financial statements. As a result, there is an increased likelihood of “potential material errors to the [December 31, 2009] consolidated financial statements.” On July 22, 2010, Deloitte resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of American Apparel. On July 29, 2010, after Deloitte’s resignation was announced to the public, American Apparel shares promptly dropped from $1.81 per share to close at $1.55 per share, on abnormally high trading volume.
