The Complaint charges EDU and certain of the Company’s executive officers with violations of federal securities laws. EDU provides private educational services, primarily in China. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about EDU’s business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company lacked a sufficient basis for the consolidation of Beijing New Oriental Education & Technology (Group) Co., Ltd., a variable interest entity of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, into EDU’s consolidated financial statements; (2) that, as a result, the Company was improperly consolidating Beijing New Oriental Education & Technology (Group) Co., Ltd., into EDU’s consolidated financial statements; (3) that, contrary to the Company’s representations, EDU’s entire store network is not Company-owned because EDU has numerous franchisees; (4) that upfront franchise and other fees had inflated EDU’s cash balances; (5) that the schools that conduct EDU’s operations were ultimately state property; (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial results were misstated during the Class Period; (7) that the Company lacked internal and financial controls; and (8) that, as a result, the Company’s financial statements and financial results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
