Saxena White P.A. Files Securities Fraud Class Action Against VeriFone Systems, Inc.

BOCA RATON, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 04/15/13 -- Saxena White P.A. has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against VeriFone Systems, Inc. ("VeriFone" or the "Company") (NYSE: PAY) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of the Company during the period from December 14, 2011 through February 20, 2013 (the "Class Period"). The complaint brings claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

VeriFone is a global provider of secure electronic payment solutions. During the Class Period, VeriFone made materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's financial condition, growth, revenues, and ability to execute its business plan, among other things.

The filed complaint alleges that VeriFone held itself out to the public as a Company achieving steady and consistent growth, beating analysts' forecasts every quarter for more than two years. In order to propagate this image, Defendants made a series of false and/or misleading statements regarding VeriFone's growth and revenues, concealing that: (i) the Company was encountering serious problems in transitioning to an increasingly subscriptions-based service model; (ii) VeriFone used past acquisitions to mask its declining revenue base; (iii) the Company inappropriately recognized revenues from distributors during periods where such revenues should have been deferred; (iv) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (v) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
