30 Março 2015 - 12:06PM
Morgan & Morgan announces that class action lawsuits were filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and the United States District Court for the Central
District of California on behalf of all persons or entities that
purchased the common stock of Youku Tudou, Inc. ("Youku" or the
"Company") (NYSE:YOKU) between February 27, 2014 and March 19,
2015, inclusive (the "Class Period"), alleging violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of
its officers.
If you purchased Youku stock during the Class Period, you may,
no later than May 26, 2015, request that the Court
appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class. A lead plaintiff
is a representative party that acts on behalf of all class members
in directing the litigation. Any member of the purported class may
move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their
choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class
member.

The complaints allege that throughout the Class Period, Youku
and certain of its officers violated the federal securities laws by
disseminating false and misleading statements to the investing
public. Specifically, the complaints allege that Defendants made
false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
(1) the Company recognized revenue improperly for multi-element
arrangements; (2) the Company improperly recorded certain
nonmonetary transactions to exchange online broadcasting rights of
video content with other online video broadcasting companies at the
carrying values of the broadcasting rights transacted, instead of
the properly-accounted fair value; (3) the Company improperly
accounted for its licensed content as long-lived assets; (4) the
Company lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting;
and (5) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.
According to the complaints, on March 19, 2015, the Company
announced fourth quarter results and reported a net loss of $51.3
million, compared to $4 million in the same quarter of 2013. In
addition, Youku disclosed that the SEC is investigating certain
aspects of the Company's past accounting practices relating to
revenue recognition for multi-part deals, accounting of
"non-monetary exchanges of licensed content" and the classification
of licensed content as long-lived assets. The Company also
announced that it is now "evaluating the impact to its 2014 and
historical financial statements."
Following this news, Youku's stock price dropped nearly 11%,
from a March 19, 2015 closing price of $15.15 per share, to close
at $13.50 on March 20, 2015.
