Business Wire
Paskowitz & Associates has filed a class action lawsuit in the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on
behalf of all purchasers who purchased FindWhat.com ("the
Company")(NASDAQ:FWHT--News) securities during the period January
5, 2004 to May 4, 2005 (the "Class Period"'). Also included are all
those who acquired FindWhat.com's shares through its acquisitions
of Miva, Comet Systems or Espotting Media. For further information
you may call toll free, 800-705-9529, or contact counsel by e-mail
by writing to classattorney@aol.com. The Complaint alleges that
FindWhat.com and certain of its officers and directors violated
federal securities laws. Specifically, with the completion of the
first in a series of acquisitions by FindWhat.com, the Company
began to accrue intangible assets in excess of their actual value.
FindWhat.com disagreed with its auditor, Ernst & Young LLP,
about the need to recognize an impairment of its goodwill in
connection with FindWhat.com's 2004 financial statements. As a
result of the dispute, on May 2, 2005, Ernst & Young LLP
resigned and informed FindWhat.com of the following material
weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial
reporting: (i) purchase accounting, (ii) goodwill impairment, (iii)
revenue recognition for private label agreements and other revenue
agreements, excluding those related to FindWhat.com Network
revenue, (iv) personnel resources and technical accounting
expertise, (v) quarterly and year-end financial statement close and
review process, and (vi) segregation of duties. On May 4, 2005,
FindWhat.com announced the resignation of its CFO, Defendant Brenda
Aguis. While Defendants had inflated FindWhat.com's stock, insiders
sold 680,959 shares for proceeds of $11,320.179. On May 3,
FindWhat.com stock plummeted $2.04 per share, or 26% and an
additional $2.33, or 38% on May 5, 2005. If you purchased
FindWhat.com securities during the Class Period, you may qualify to
serve as Lead Plaintiff on behalf of the Class. Motions for
appointment to the Lead plaintiff position must be filed no later
than July 5, 2005. You are not required to have sold your
FindWhat.com securities in order to claim damages, or to serve in
this role.
