BOSTON, Aug. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Shares in Amira Natural Foods Ltd. ("Amira" or the "Company") (NYSE: ANFI) have plunged on news of the Company terminating its former auditor and delaying the filing of its financial results for the year ending March 31, 2015.
Certain short sellers have raised questions regarding the veracity of Amira's publicly reported financial results. In response, Amira's former outside auditors, Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP ("Deloitte") recommended that Amira's audit committee retain independent external forensic investigators to investigate issues raised by the short sellers. Amira has since terminated Deloitte and retained ASA & Associates LLP to act as the Company's outside auditors. Amira's stock price has plunged by almost 80% since announcing it would be late in filing its year-end financial results with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ending March 31, 2015. Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), a law firm with offices in Boston and California, and representing investors nationwide, is investigating whether the Company and certain of its officers and directors have violated the federal securities laws.
