Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether the directors and officers of Stereotaxis harmed the company and investors by issuing improper statements about the condition and future business prospects of the company. On August 8, 2011, Stereotaxis issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 that showed that the company was performing well below expectations, as revenue had declined 22.7% from $15.0 million for the second quarter of 2010. Stereotaxis also reported that its net loss for the second quarter 2011 was $9.7 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.08 per share, reported for the second quarter of 2010. The announcement of these disappointing results was accompanied by the additional revelations that Stereotaxis had been forced to suspend its full year guidance for 2011, and that Chief Financial Officer Dan Johnston was resigning from the company. On this news, shares of Stereotaxis declined by more than 58%, opening on August 9, 2011, at just $1.64 per share.
