Tile Shop Accused of Failing to Disclose Related Party Transactions and Overstating Profits

Shares of Tile Shop fell $8.27, or 37%, to close at $12.95 on November 14, 2013, after the release of a report by Gotham City Research LLC claiming that the company's financial results were overstated.  According to the complaint, Tile Shop made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company's business prospects and financial condition.  In particular, the complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Tile Shop failed to disclose to investors that one of its largest suppliers, Beijing Pingxiu, was an undisclosed related company controlled by the brother-in-law of the company's CEO, Robert A.
