GC China Turbine Corp. Announces Results of Special Committee Investigation
NEW YORK, NY—(Marketwire -10/25/11)- GC China Turbine Corporation (“GC China” or the “Company”) (OTC.BB: GCHT.OB) today announced that the previously appointed Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors comprised of its independent directors, Cary Zhou and Marcus Laun (the “Special Committee”) has completed its investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations made in an anonymous email to Deloitte Touche Tohmastu CPA Ltd., the Company’s former principal registered public accounting firm, concerning certain financial matters involving the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Wuhan Guoce Nordic New Energy Co., Ltd. (“GC Nordic”). As a result of its investigation, the Special Committee has concluded that there is no merit to any of the allegations made in the anonymous email.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on September 22, 2011, Deloitte forwarded the anonymous email to the Company and requested that the Company investigate the allegations made therein. These allegations included alleged fraudulent fund transfers resulting in incorrect accounts payable balances, a fabricated contract for the purposes of transferring funds outside the Company, and a fake payment entry from a customer. In response, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee consisting of the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors to investigate the allegations.
The Special Committee has concluded that the allegations set forth in the anonymous email are all without merit. The Special Committee conducted interviews and reviewed applicable financial records and verified third-party payment information and account balances. The foregoing investigation found no irregularities in the Company’s payment processes or its accounting methods.
The Special Committee received full cooperation from management, employees and third parties whom it sought to interview.
Cary Zhou, Chairman of the Special Committee, said, “As a result of the Special Committee’s work and its investigation, we have found no merit to any of the allegations contained in the anonymous email and have provided the Board of Directors with our full report. On behalf of the Special Committee, I want to acknowledge the cooperation and dedication of all the individuals who assisted with the Special Committee’s investigation.”
