The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period that the media credits acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of JavaCo were substantially overvalued; that the Company was improperly accounting for acquisitions; that, as such, the Company's financial results were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; and that, as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading. According to the complaint, after, on May 21, 2010, JBI disclosed that its previously issued financial statements for the 2009 fiscal year and third quarter should no longer be relied upon due to the accounting treatment and related disclosures of two acquisitions completed in 2009 and the valuation of media credits acquired by JBI through the issuance of common stock, and after, on July 20, 2011, JBI disclosed that the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Division of Enforcement issued a "Wells Notice" to JBI indicating that the staff intended to recommend that the SEC file a civil lawsuit alleging that the Company violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws, that the SEC staff may also recommend naming one or more current and former officers of JBI as defendants, and that JBI believed that the proposed lawsuit related to the Company's restated financial statements for the 2009 fiscal year and third quarter, the value of JBI stock declined significantly.

If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.
