Kaplan Fox Seeks to Recover Losses for Investors Who Purchased the Publicly Traded Securities of Crocs, Inc.

NEW YORK, NY filed a class action suit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on behalf of all persons who purchased the publicly traded securities of Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) ("Crocs" or the "Company") from July 27, 2007 through October 31, 2007 (the "Class Period") against Crocs and certain of its officers for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Complaint alleges, inter alia, that during the Class Period, Crocs portrayed itself as a Company with continuing growth in demand for its products that was expanding its business into Europe, Asia and South America. However, it is alleged that, unknown to investors, the Company was experiencing the following material adverse trends during the course of its expansion of its business: (a) the Company was experiencing material distribution problems in Europe, as it had moved distribution facilities to the Netherlands and was experiencing distribution problems in Japan with a third-party distributor; (b) that the Company's sales were being negatively impacted by seasonal conditions as consumers materially reduced purchases of the Company's products in Europe; and (c) that the Company's inventory levels were materially building far beyond historic levels.

It is further alleged that on October 31, 2007, after the close of trading, Crocs issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2007 in which the Company disclosed an increase in inventory of approximately 300% during the quarter and disclosed for the first time certain material difficulties in opening its Netherlands distribution center and certain other material difficulties in product distribution.

As alleged in the Complaint, the following trading day, Crocs shares declined from a closing price on October 31, 2007 of $74.75 per share, to close at $47.74 per share, a decline of $27.01 per share or approximately 36%.

The Complaint further alleges that during the Class Period, Crocs' CEO Ronald R. Snyder sold approximately 345,000 artificially inflated Crocs shares for proceeds of approximately $22.6 million.

If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than January 7, 2008 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the Class. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.
