    Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of persons similarly situated , by his undersigned
    attorneys, for his Class Action Complaint, alleges upon personal knowledge as to himself
    and his own acts and as to all other matters upon information and belief based upon, inter
    alia, the investigation made by and through his attorneys, as follows:
    
                                           NATURE OF THE ACTION
    1. This action is brought to redress violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") committed by NAL Financial Group Inc.
    ("NAL" or the "Company"), an automobile finance company, and its senior officers
    involving a series of misrepresentations about the adequacy of the Company's credit loss
    reserves and its corresponding underwriting practices. Although the Company admittedly
    relaxed certain underwriting criteria relating to the creditworthiness of the applicants for
    its automobile financing and did not strengthen such criteria until at least the end of 1996,
    NAL had been repeatedly telling its shareholders and the investing public generally that
    for the past year it employed strict underwriting criteria and maintained sufficient
    reserves for credit losses. When the Company began to disclose, in piecemeal, the
    inadequacy of its underwriting practices and loss provisions, the price of NAL common
    stock began to fall from the $13-$15 per share level at which it had been trading for most
    of 1996 to the current $2 per share range.
    
                                          JURISDICTION AND VENUE
    2. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action pursuant to Section 27
    of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. §78aa.

  • Excluded from the Class are the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, the individual
  • During the Class Period there were more than 10,000,000 shares outstanding.
  • The adequacy of the reserves is dependent in large part on the strength of the underwriting
  • A reserve for credit losses has been maintained at a level that management considers adequate
  • The Company's provision for credit losses was not increased, however, to account for the fact
  • The Company maintains a reserve available to absorb future credit losses on Contracts which
  • These representations were false and misleading because even if the Company did in fact
