Specifically, the complaint alleges that Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements about its financial condition prior to and following its formation in early 2007 through the date of the merger of Stratex Networks, Inc. and the Harris Microwave Communications Division. On July 30, 2008, the Company announced that it had discovered accounting errors which rendered its previously issued financial statements to be incorrect.

The Company reported these accounting errors will cut previously reported pre-tax income by $18 million to $25 million. As a result of the restatement, the Company announced that its prior financial statements for the first three quarters of fiscal 2008 and the fiscal years 2005 through 2007 should no longer be relied upon. Harris Stratex’s share price fell in reaction to the announcement, falling from $11.24 to $7.35 per share — a 34.61% decline in value.
