("Ambow" or the "Company") (NYSE: AMBO) between May 18, 2011 and May 16, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period").
The Complaint alleges that Ambow and certain of its executive officers issued false and/or misleading statements about Ambow's business, operations and prospects, including that: (1) certain of the Company's distributors did not have an adequate history of timely payment; (2) as such, the collection of resulting receivables from these distributors was not reasonably assured; (3) as a result, the Company was improperly recognizing revenue on sales to these distributors; (4) the Company was improperly accounting for certain business acquisitions; (5) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial results were misstated during the Class Period; (6) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (7), as a result of the above, the Company's financial results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times
On April 30, 2012, Ambow announced that it would be unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 20-F with the SEC for the 2011 fiscal year. Thereafter, on May 16, 2012, Ambow disclosed that the Company was further delaying the filing of its 2011 Annual Report and that the Company had identified certain preliminary adjustments to its previously issued 2011 unaudited financial statements. As a result of this news, the Company's shares declined $0.99 per share, or 17.55%, to close on May 16, 2012, at $4.65 per share.
