The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the Company was underestimating the ultimate price to be paid to walnut growers; (b) the Company was improperly accounting for its cost of sales; (c) and as a result, the Company's financial results were overstated and the Company's positive statements about Diamond Foods' business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.
