b) All of the press releases and Form 10-Ks and Form 10-Qs issued by the Company and the Individual Defendants during the Class Period were materially false and misleading because they did not accurately reflect the Company’s treatment of rebates associated with volume discounts by vendors; and

c) Defendants continually made false and materially misleading statements and omissions during the Class Period concerning the Company’s treatment of rebates associated with volume discounts provided by vendors, vendor costs which were marked-up to clients in a manner not consistent with client contracts, volume discounts and mark-ups incorrectly accounted for as revenue, the Company’s accounting practices, generally, and the Company’s revenue and net income.
