According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Portola failed to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, including reserves for product returns. The Company was actively shipping longer-dated product with a 36-month shelf life, but did not maintain adequate reserves for returns from its prior shipments of shorter-dated product. The put the Company in the position of likely requiring an accounting "catch up" on return reserves. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Portola, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
