The alleged false and misleading statements and omissions include, but are not limited to, that: (i) the most of the purported orders in the Company's optical wavelength "backlog" were unlikely to ever result in a paid order; (ii) many of the "backlog" customers were unable or unwilling to accept delivery even if timely provision was possible; (iii) as a result of (i)-(ii) above, the Company had materially misrepresented demand for its optical wavelength services and the nature of its "backlog" of wavelength orders; (iv) as a result of (i)-(iii) above, the Company was not on track to achieve its revenue and margin targets and such targets lacked a reasonable basis in objective fact; (v) the Company did not have the financial capacity or business fundamentals to maintain its long-standing dividend policy; and (vi) there was a material, undisclosed risk that Cogent Founder, CEO and Chairman, David Schaeffer, would be forced to sell vast quantities of Cogent stock as a result of his high-risk pledging activities, thereby further depressing the price of the Company's stock in the event the truth regarding its "backlog," demand issues, and financial position were ever revealed.
