On July 12, 2005, Host America informed the public that agreements had been made between itself and Wal-Mart for the installation of its LightMasterPlus fluorescent lighting system. Six weeks later, Host America confirmed Scott + Scott’s allegations, confessing, “[T]here is not, and never has been, a formal, written agreement with Wal-Mart concerning the proposed 10-store survey that was the subject of the July 12 press release nor is there any agreement for the installation of LightMasterPlus.” As a result of Host America’s July 12, 2005 misrepresentations, shareholders have lost millions of dollars, many of these shareholders being retirees. The Chief Executive officer is currently on an unpaid leave of absence.
