Eros Media World plc has received a major relief as its internal review of certain accounting practices and internal controls has concluded. The Audit Committee concluded that no revenues recognized during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, were inappropriately recognized and found no impairment in the intangible assets and goodwill reflected on the Company’s Form 6-K dated March 31, 2021. In addition, the Audit Committee found no material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.

EMW has now been through several waves of short attacks by short-sellers such as Hindenburg Research (which recently announced that it was shutting down) as well as three separate SEC investigations. The Company has been accused of, and investigated for: allegedly inflated revenues, alleged false and misleading financial statements, and alleged improper related party transactions. The Company is pleased that all three SEC investigations looking into those and other allegations have been closed without further action taken by the SEC.

“We are most pleased to have these issues behind us as we look forward to a new future for the Company,” said Kishore Lulla, Founder & Executive Director of Eros Media World Group. “We would like to thank our United States counsel for their brilliant legal representation and their extraordinary efforts on our behalf: Kenneth E. Lee of Levine Lee LLP, lead litigation counsel and regular outside counsel; Rachel G. Skaistis of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, SEC counsel; and Victor Hou of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP.”
