According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the securities of DGSE Companies, Inc.

DGSE Companies, Inc. reported that its annual Revenue fell from $101.22million in 2008 to $82.57million in 2010, but its Net Loss of $7.85million in 2008 turned into a Net Income of $5.66million in 2010.
