About the Lawsuit

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 emanating from the issuance of materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business and financial results. Miller stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $8.02 per share on July 15, 2011.

On July 28, 2011, TheStreetSweeper published an investigative report on Miller regarding the Company's relationship with several financial firms, highlighting potential accounting problems. Specifically, the report questioned the Company's purchase of abandoned assets in Alaska for $4.5 million, later fixing the value of those assets at more than $350 million on its books. On this news, Miller's stock dropped $1.64 per share to close at $5.40 per share on July 28, 2011. Then, on August 1, 2011, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing that the Company would be issuing revised financial statements, particularly with respect to its statement of cash flows for the periods ended January 31, 2011, October 31, 2010 and July 31, 2010, pursuant to an investigation by the Company's Audit Committee. On August 2, 2011, Miller stock dropped another $0.58 per share, to close at $3.37 per share, the Company's lowest share price during the Class Period, and a decline of 58% from the Class Period high of $8.02 per share. Shares have continued to fall on additional revelations, closing to $2.16 per share on August 25, 2011.
