On March 31, 2011 the Company issued an announcement stating that it would be unable to timely issue its fiscal year 2010 financial results because of “possible discrepancies concerning the Company’s banking statements that were very recently identified by the Company’s auditors in the course of their audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.” As a result, China Electric Motor stated it had begun an internal investigation.
