Specifically, Johnson & Weaver's investigation seeks to determine whether certain statements regarding Natus' business and prospects were false and misleading when made.

The investigation concerns whether Natus disclosed the risk that certain key government supply contracts would, if cancelled, cause a material decline in the Company's revenues and profitability. On April 4, 2016, Natus announced that revenue for the first quarter of 2016 is expected to be approximately $87.5 million versus previous guidance of $91.5 million to $92.5 million. Jim Hawkins, President and CEO, stated, "Pushouts of key orders in both our international and domestic markets led to weaker than expected revenue late in the first quarter". Hawkins further acknowledged, "In addition, we did not have any revenue associated with the Venezuela Ministry of Health contract as we did not receive any prepayments during the quarter". On this news, shares of Natus fell from a close of $39.64 on April 1, 2016 to close at $31.84 per share the following trading day.
