Xinhua, a diversified media company in China, operates of five divisions: Media Production, Broadcasting, Print, Advertising, and Research. Over the last four weeks, twelve law firms have announced that they have filed class action lawsuits against Xinhua Finance. The lawsuits allege that Xinhua and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the failure to disclose and misrepresention of material adverse facts. On May 21, 2007, Barron's published an article on Xinhua which reported that the Registration Statement for the IPO failed to disclose that Xinhua's Chief Financial Officer, Shelly Singhal, was simultaneously the company's CFO and an investment banker and stockbroker, who ran a securities firm that had been under regulatory scrutiny in the past year.

These events have led to the issuance of the following statement by CFC:
“In view of the serious nature of the legal filings against Xinhua Finance Media (NasdaqGM: XFML), China Business Watch SAQ Ratings Service has decided to maintain the suspension of the company’s SAQ Rating status until further definitive information is made available and assessed.”
