HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 18 2004 LAWFUEL - Class action, lawsuit, law, legal, attorney news -- The law firm of Schatz & Nobel, P.C., which has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims of securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all persons who purchased the securities of AXT, Inc. (NasdNM: AXTI) ("AXT") between February 6, 2001 and April 27, 2004 (the "Class Period"). The Complaint alleges that AXT violated securities laws by making material misrepresentations and omissions during the Class Period. On April 27, 2004, AXT disclosed that the "first quarter's financial review and verification process has been delayed due to an investigation by AXT's Audit Committee of certain product testing practices and policies." On May 24, 2004, AXT disclosed to the SEC that the investigation confirmed that, for an undisclosed period of years, AXT had "not followed requirements for testing of products and provision of testing data and information relating to customer requirements for certain shipments made over the past several years." AXT further disclosed that during the first-quarter of 2004, AXT increased its reserve for sales returns "related to our failure to follow certain testing requirements and provision of testing data and information to certain customers." As a result of AXT's disclosure, the price of AXT stock fell from a close of $3.30 per share on April 27, 2004 to close at $2.20 per share on April 29, 2004. If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than December 14, 2004, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the overall recovery for class members, including decisions concerning settlement. The securities laws require the Court to consider the class member(s) with the largest financial interest as presumptively the most adequate lead plaintiff(s).
