Unilife Accused of Misleading Investors Regarding the Company's Compliance with FDA Regulations

Shares of Unilife fell $0.52 per share, or more than 14%, on September 4, 2013, after publication of a Forbes article discussing Unilife's fiscal year loss of $63.2 million on revenue of just $2.7 million. The report also disclosed that customer demand for Unilife's products was such that the company's primary manufacturing facility was operating at 3% of capacity, or approximately 2 million syringes per year. Then, on September 9, 2013, Forbes published an article detailing allegations in a lawsuit filed by a former Unilife employee concerning various regulatory violations at the company and the suppression of internal reports detailing Unilife's inability to produce the company's syringes below cost.

According to the complaint, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) the company's Unifill syringes failed to comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") validation processes; (ii) the company's Quality Management System failed to comply with FDA's regulations; and (iii) Unilife intentionally increased purchases of Unifill component parts to create the appearance that it was producing at increased volumes despite low customer demand and lack of capacity to support those purchases.
