The plaintiff alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that National Beverage Corp lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting due, in part, to undisclosed channeling of expenses through off book entities and undisclosed material related parties transactions, and that as a result, defendants' statements about National Beverage Corp's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On September 27, 2016 a report was published that alleges, among other allegations, that: the Company's former CEO and Chairman admitted to "manipulating FIZZ's earnings…[and] directing his son to create fake invoices"; the Company refused to allow a potential acquirer to perform adequate due diligence on the Company, thus leading to the failure of the transaction; and that the Company's officers are "compensated by a privately held company" that disallows shareholder visibility. Shares of National Beverage Corp. declined to as low as $39.14 per share on September 28, 2016.
