An accounting firm creates financial statements for a large company. The accounting firm is creating the statements for an initial public offer that is likely going to be happening in the next month. The company gives the name of the underwriting firm and tells the firm to forward the end result to company to determine what their take of the offer should be, as well as to prepare the prospectus. After the offering, there is a major error uncovered, and the underwriting firm should have made a significantly different deal with the company. The underwriting firm sues the accounting firm. Is the underwriting firm likely to win in a state that employs the Primary Benefit Test?
