According to the Press Release dated April 1, 2011, the Complaint asserts violations of the federal securities laws against China Intelligent, its officers and directors, and underwriters for issuing materially false and misleading information in the Company's public offering documents. On March 29, 2011 the Company issued an announcement revealing that its auditor MaloneBailey LLP ("MB") had resigned and that MB had withdrawn its prior audit opinion of the Company's financial statements. MB said it "believed that the accounting records of the Company have been falsified, which constitutes an illegal act." MB also found that the accounting discrepancies could indicate a material error in previously issued financial statements. MB also stated that it could no longer rely on management's representations. The Company also disclosed that it is the subject of a formal SEC investigation.

Since March 24, 2011 trading in the Company's stock has been halted, rendering the Company's stock illiquid and damaging investors.
