What is this Case About: Schmitt Industries, Inc. (SMIT) Had Deficient Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

According to the complaint, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Schmitt continuously downplayed it serious issues with internal controls; (2) Schmitt's financial statements from August 31, 2021 to the present included "certain errors"; and (3) as a result, Schmitt would have to restate its previously filed financial statements for certain periods.

On September 20, 2022, Schmitt announced it would restate its financial statements from August 31, 2021 to the present, and expected to report at least one material weakness. Further, the Company's financial statements from August 31, 2021 through February 28, 2022, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the treatment of certain general and administrative expenses that were excluded from the statement of operations. On this news, Schmitt's stock fell 17% to close at $3.12 per share on September 21, 2022.
