Longtop Financial Technologies Limited ("Longtop" or the Company) is a Chinese company that offers financial services software.

According to a press release dated May 23, 2011, the lawsuit charges violations against Longtop and its officers and directors for issuing materially false and misleading financial statements to the investing public between June 29, 2009 and April 25, 2011, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The Complaint asserts violations of the federal securities laws against Longtop and its officers and directors for misrepresenting the true financial condition of the Company and failing to disclose material related party transactions during the Class Period. Beginning on April 26, 2011 a series of reports issued by Citron Research and others exposed potential accounting fraud and nondisclosure of related party transactions at Longtop.

On May 17, 2011 a trading halt was instituted on Longtop's common stock. On May 23, 2011 Longtop issued a press release announcing, among other things, (1) the resignation of its auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd. ("DTT"); (2) the resignation of Longtop's Chief Financial Officers; (3) the initiation of an SEC inquiry; (4) and the initiation of an independent investigation. According to the announcement, DTT was resigning because of "(1) the recently identified falsity of the Company's financial records in relation to cash at bank and loan balances (and possibly in sales revenue); (2) the deliberate interference by certain members of Longtop management in DTT's audit process; and (3) the unlawful detention of DTT's audit files."

DTT also stated that it "was no longer able to rely on management's representations in relation to prior period financial reports, that continued reliance should no longer be placed on DTT's audit reports on the previous financial statements, and DTT declined to be associated with any of the Company's financial communications in 2010 and 2011.
