Focus Media is a multi-platform digital media company and operates a liquid crystal display (LCD) network using
audiovisual digital displays in China.
On November 21, 2011, analyst firm Muddy Waters, LLC (“Muddy Waters”) issued a report wherein it accused
Focus Media of misrepresenting its financial statements and business prospects to the public. Muddy Waters
asserted that the Company overstated the number of television screens in its ad network and may have overpaid for
takeovers to mask losses. Specifically, Muddy Waters said Focus Media reported in regulatory filings that it has
178,382 screens, while according to its media kit the company has fewer than 120,000. Muddy Waters also wrote
that the company has “significantly and deliberately” overpaid for deals and has written down $1.1 billion out of $1.6
billion in acquisitions since 2005, exceeding the Company’s enterprise value by a third.
This news caused Focus Media stock to plunge 65% on November 21, 2011 to a low of $8.79 per share and
eventually closed almost 40% down at $15.43 per share that day, down from its previous day’s close of $25.50 per
share.
