| Suprema ist unter Beschuß gekommen wegen einer Buchführungssache; der Handel ist seit 4 Wochen ausgesetzt. Ein neuer CFO ist da. Neue Buchprüfer prüfen emsig. Suprema sagt nix. Klingt natürlich ungut. (auch, daß sie die Meldung Heiligabend rausgegeben haben - sieht aus, als hätten sie's nötig...) In den letzten zwei Wochen scheint rein gar nichts bekannt geworden zu sein. Natürlich geiert eine Million Ami-Rechtsanwälte sich rein und versucht, Blut zu saugen. (Das nimmt abstruse Formen an: teilweise wird sogar agitiert, ohne irgendwelche Vorwürfe angeben zu können - Aktionäre werden animiert, anzurufen - sicher nicht, um über Football zu diskutieren, sondern um mögliche Kunden aufzutun; und DIE sollen den Herrschaften Anwälten einen möglichen Grund für Klagen berichten ! Die Perfektionierung anwaltlicher Tätigkeit: mach Knete, ohne zu wissen, worum es überhaupt geht...) http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/news/articles.asp?guid={1B19AA03-F1E5-4ECF-B479-0CE6313BE017}&newsid=795290313&symb=CHEZ&sid=7607 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/news/articles.asp?guid={0EF1E171-4DEE-4F36-B702-7D46FC3BE403}&newsid=794853640&symb=CHEZ&sid=7607 Suprema Specialties, Inc., Announces Internal Investigation PATERSON, N.J., Dec 21, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Suprema Specialties, Inc.

MONDAY, JANUARY 07, 2002 8:50 AM - PrimeZone WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2002 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- The Securities Sleuth ( http://www.securitiessleuth.com ) takes a behind-the-scenes look at various securities irregularities and their impact on investors. Suprema Specialties, Inc. (CHEZ) has not traded since December 21 when it announced the resignation of both its CFO and its Controller, and "an internal investigation of its prior reported financial results." On December 24, Nasdaq imposed a trading halt until the Company fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information; no additional information has been released by the Company in the subsequent two weeks. In the absence of definitive news, the Securities Sleuth has reviewed the Company's financial history and recent information releases. More information can be found in an article published earlier today on the Sleuth's Web site. The Securities Sleuth is co-edited by Bob Davis and Mark McNair, the team that previously produced a site named by Forbes magazine as its favorite `Guard Dog' on its `Best of the Web' list. Davis is also the editor of The Napeague Letter ( http://www.napeague.com ) whose "Suspicious Stocks" column profiled "excessively-promoted" stocks. Bob's column has earned kudos for its analyses from Forbes, The Financial Times, Online Investor, Money Magazine and the San Francisco Chronicle.

PrimeZone Media Network, Inc. ----------------- [dazu die Quelle "Securities Sleuth":] http://www.securitiessleuth.com/roguesgallery/CHEZ_1_6_02.htm Suprema Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHEZ) The announcement came at 5:26 PM, on the Friday before the long Christmas weekend, a time when traditionally absolutely no one is watching the market. The press release was short, but definitely not sweet for its shareholders, and provided no details whatsoever. It merely stated: "Suprema Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHEZ) announced today that following the resignations of its Chief Financial Officer and its controller, the Company has initiated an internal investigation of its prior reported financial results and has instructed its auditors to review the Company's financial records." NASDAQ immediately halted trading in the stock due to "additional information requested." A Monday press release from NASDAQ stated, "Trading will remain halted until Suprema Specialties, Inc. has fully satisfied Nasdaq's request for additional information." Suprema Specialties "manufactures and markets gourmet all natural Italian cheeses under the Suprema and Suprema DiAvellino (R) brand name as well as under private label. Suprema's product lines consist primarily of mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, romano and provolone cheeses which it produces domestically, as well as parmesan and pecorino romano cheeses which it imports." Although one could make a crack about "cheesy" companies, until recently Suprema was well respected, having recently been selected by Forbes Magazine for the second year in a row as one of the best 200 small companies in the United States. In early November 2001, the Company did a secondary offering, with Janney Montgomery Scott as a lead underwriter, and it had three different analysts covering it. However, something now seems to have gone wrong - but the nature of the problem is not yet clear. We do not yet know the size of the discrepancy and its effect on the Company's financial position, who really is responsible for it, or how long it will take to correct so as to return the stock to trading status. And even though trading has now been halted for more than two weeks, CHEZ investors have received no additional information from the Company. However, in a review of the Company's financial history and recent announcements, the Sleuth spotted a few interesting clues: Some evidence indicates that this problem is most likely confined to the first quarter of fiscal 2002, for which results were released on November 15th of last year. The Company's public accounting firm, BDO Seidman audited its year-end financial statements for the year ending on June 30, 2001. Since the Company has not brought in a second public accounting firm to "review the Company's financial records," it is not likely that they are questioning the prior year's audited results. On the other hand, it might be due to a longer-term problem. Accounts receivable and inventories are surprisingly high when compared to revenues, and a review of the Company's financials shows that over the last several years its receivables have grown much more rapidly than have its revenues. At the end of 1996, year-end accounts receivable were only 13.5% of annual revenues, and they had been at this level at least since the beginning of the 1990s. However, receivables then began to increase rapidly, reaching 22.4% of revenues by the end of fiscal 2001. This is a substantial increase. In addition, the Company's primary source for funding its inventories and accounts receivable is a revolving line of credit, provided by a consortium of well-known major banks. The Company's continued access to this line of credit is dependent upon its compliance with certain "restrictive covenants, including the maintenance of consolidated net worth and the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge ratios, as defined in the agreement." It is possible that "accounting modifications" were made so as to maintain compliance with these covenants. If for some reason the CFO and the Controller had failed to tell senior management that the Company was no longer in compliance with its credit line covenants, but instead took steps to modify the Company's financial results so as to maintain the appearance of compliance… But the "net-net" of all this is that we really don't know much about this situation. And of course, the Company's shareholders - the people who have invested in Suprema Specialties - have been completely in the dark for over two weeks. Frankly, they deserve to be treated more fairly by the Company they ostensibly own. If you are a shareholder in CHEZ, please contact the Sleuth as we may want to interview shareholders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Am 8.Januar sagt Suprema, daß ... sie nichts zu sagen hat:] http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/news/articles.asp?guid={E5E68389-DF6A-4D2A-8A5E-76E16B3BE4E6}&newsid=795249840&symb=CHEZ&sid=7607 Suprema Specialties Provides Update On Internal Investigation PATERSON, N.J., Jan 8, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Suprema Specialties, Inc. (CHEZ) announced today an update regarding the internal investigation that the Company announced in its press release on December 21, 2001. The Company, with the assistance of its independent auditors, has continued to conduct an inquiry into the Company's financial records. Management's focus during this period has been on areas that it considers most material. The inquiry is not yet complete and, while it is not possible to predict the ultimate results of the inquiry, to date the Company has nothing to report. The Company and its Audit Committee are firmly committed to completing a thorough, expeditious inquiry of these matters. |
