BEIJING, Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Youku Tudou Inc. (NYSE: YOKU, and formerly Youku Inc. or "Youku"), China's leading Internet television company ("Youku Tudou" or the "Company"), today announced its unaudited financial results for fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013.

Basis of Presentation

On August 23, 2012, the Company and Tudou Holdings Limited ("Tudou") announced the completion of the merger between Youku and Tudou. Following the completion of the merger, Tudou's financial results were consolidated into the Company. Based on Youku's review with Tudou management of Tudou's publicly disclosed summary of significant accounting policies prior to the merger, certain adjustments to the historical statement of operations have been made to conform its accounting policies to those of Youku's. Due to the fact that Tudou's historical statements of operations for certain period of 2012 consist of stand-alone historical financial information without these adjustments, we do not believe that comparison of the Company's fiscal year 2013 financial results with that of the fiscal year 2012 can be provided on a consistent basis.
