PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
On March 27, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee comprised of independent directors, to investigate certain allegations of the Company's former auditor, MaloneBailey, LLP ("MaloneBailey"), in connection with which MaloneBailey withdrew its audit opinion related to the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and to take any and all remedial actions as the Special Committee, in its sole discretion, deems to be necessary and appropriate (the “Investigation”). On the same date, the Special Committee engaged the law firm of Sidley Austin LLP (“Sidley”) to serve as its independent counsel in connection with the Investigation, and on March 30, 2011, Sidley retained the forensic accounting firm of Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as its forensic accounting advisor. The Special Committee has not completed the Investigation, and has made no findings to date. The Special Committee has encountered difficulties in obtaining cooperation with the Investigation and as a result, no assurance can be provided as to when or if the Investigation will be completed.
On May 14, 2011, BDO China Li Xin Da Hua CPAs (“BDO”) resigned as the Company’s independent auditor, effective immediately. For details regarding BDO’s resignation, see the Company’s current report on Form 8-K to be filed on or before May 19, 2011.
The Company is unable to predict when it will be in a position to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company intends to submit such filing as soon as practicable after completion of the Special Committee's Investigation and work by a new auditor.
