Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Desarrolladora Homex S.A.B. de C.V. ("Homex" or the "Company") (formerly NYSE: HXM; formerly OTCMKTS: DHOXQ; formerly OTCMKTS: DHOXY) American Depositary Shares ("ADRs") between April 30, 2012 and May 5, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Homex investors have until May 15, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) between 2010 and 2013, Homex overstated its revenue by 355% or roughly $3.3 billion by reporting fictitious sales of more than 100,000 homes; (2) between 2010 and 2013, Homex overstated the number of units it sold by over 100,000 units or 317% of actual units sold; (3) Homex and certain of its Headquarters Financial Reporting Personnel knowingly and intentionally engaged in a scheme to materially overstate Homex's revenues, homes sold, and other related fnancial items; and (4) consequently, defendants' statements about Homex's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable bases at all relevant times.



On March 3, 2017, Homex decided to resolve its charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC (News - Alert)") for allegedly reporting $3.3 billion in deceitful sales revenue to boost its revenues in financial statements between 2010 and 2013. The SEC's complaint alleges that during a three-year period, Homex exaggerated its revenue by 355%, or about $3.3 billion by reporting fabricated sales of more than 100,000 homes, thereby four times inflating the numbers of homes actually sold. The SEC's complaint also alleges that "Homex's Headquarters Financial Reporting Personnel intentionally and knowingly uploaded false information into the Company's internal reporting and accounting systems in order to perpetrate the fictitious revenue scheme."
