Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGS: NSSC).

On August 18, 2023, the Company disclosed that “a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, rendering the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures ineffective at the end of each such quarter” due to “certain errors related to the Company’s calculation of cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and inventory for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023...[a]s a result, inventories were overstated and COGS was understated, resulting in overstated gross profit, operating income and net income for each period.” Soon after, on September 1, 2023, the Company filed amended quarterly reports confirming the severity of its financial misstatements, including that net income had been overstated by as much as 114.97%, its income per share had been overstated by as much as 112.5%, its operating income had been overstated by as much as 118.02%, and its gross profit and gross margins had been overstated by as much as 35.59%.

The Company and certain of its executives have been sued in a securities class action lawsuit charging them with failing to disclose material information in violation of federal securities laws, which remains pending.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether NAPCO’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
