According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of China MediaExpress Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: CCME) securities between November 8, 2010 and February 3, 2011, that China MediaExpress Holdings Inc violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by failing between November 8, 2010 and February 3, 2011, to disclose material adverse facts about its true financial condition, business and prospects. Specifically, the class action complaint alleges that defendant’s statements were materially false and misleading because they misrepresented and overstated the financial condition of China MediaExpress Holdings Inc. China MediaExpress Holdings Inc reported $25.84 million 12 months Total Revenue in 2007, $63 milllion in 2008 and $95.93 million in 2009. Its Net Income went over the same time period from $6.97 million, $26.37 million, $41.71 million. For the first three quarters in 2010 China MediaExpress Holdings Inc reported a combined nine months Total Revenue of $154.99 million thus succeeding its 12 months Total Revenue in 2009. China MediaExpress Holdings Inc also succeed with a combined nine months Net Income of $77.77 million for the first three quarters in 2010 its 12 months Net Income of 2009. Shares of China MediaExpress Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: CCME) rose from as low as under $9 per share in July 2010 to almost $23 per share in the end of January 2011.
But on January 31, 2011, analyst firm Citron Research issued a report alleging that China Media Express Inc misrepresented its financial performance, business prospects, and financial condition to investors. The Citron Research report concluded that China MediaExpress Holdings Inc “does not exist at the scale that they are reporting to the investing public.” Then on Thursday February 3, 2011, shares of China MediaExpress Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: CCME) sank 33% percent after analyst firm Muddy Waters issued a research report, echoing Citron Research's allegations of fraud. Both reports assert that China MediaExpress Holdings Inc’s revenues were substantially overstated and that China MediaExpress Holdings Inc exaggerated the extent of its business operations. The company had rebutted those claims in a statement on Tuesday.
