Shepherd & Geller, LLC Announces Filing Of Class Action Lawsuit On Behalf Of Purchasers Of Motorcar Parts & Accessories, Inc. Common Stock

    BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 26 -- The Law Firm of Shepherd &
Geller, LLC announced today that it has filed a class action in Federal Court
in New York (Case No. 99CIV8717) on behalf of all individuals and
institutional investors that purchased MOTORCAR PARTS & ACCESSORIES, INC.
common stock between May 22, 1997, and July 30, 1999, inclusive
(the "Class Period").
    The complaint charges that the Company and certain of its officers and
directors violated the federal securities laws by concealing significant
accounting irregularities and by making numerous false and misleading
statements about the Company's revenues, earnings, and business prospects,
causing the stock to trade at artificially inflated prices.  When the truth
about the Company's accounting irregularities and financial performance was
revealed, the stock price fell and the Company's Chief Executive Officer
resigned.
