The complaint charges certain of its officers and directors with violations of the federal securities laws (Securities Exchange Act of 1934). On December 2, 2003, the company announced that, as part of the SEC's routine review of public companies, a division of the SEC had "commented upon" the company's public filings. As a result, Dynacq asked for an automatic 15-day extension to file its 10-K for its fiscal year which ended August 31, 2003. Two weeks later, Dynacq announced it would further postpone its filing. Ten days later, its auditor, Ernst & Young, resigned and the SEC began an informal inquiry of the company's accounting.
