More specifically, the plaintiff claims that the defendants allegedly misrepresented or failed to disclose that both the existence and value of millions of dollars of the Company’s eClinical customer contracts had been falsified, and as a result the Company’s reported subscription backlog was overstated during the six quarters ended September 30, 2013, and that the Company was experiencing a continued reluctance amongst large health systems to move forward with enterprise imaging purchases.
