China Cable & Communication Announces Delay Filing Form 10-KSB
Complex Joint Venture Financials Require Additional Time BEIJING,
April 18 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Cable and
Communication, Inc. (OTC:CCCI) (BULLETIN BOARD: CCCI) , a leading
China-based cable TV company reports due to the complexities in
consolidating the joint venture financial statements of Baoding
Pascali Broadcasting Cable TV Integrated Information Networking
Co., Ltd., that is 49% owned by CCCI, CCCI will be filing our year
end 2004 annual financial statements late. This extension will
result in an "E" being placed at the end of CCCI's ticker symbol
starting the week of April 18. Management expects to have all SEC
filings completed by April 29 and have the "E" removed during the
first week of May. The "E" at the end of the ticker symbol CCCI
will have no impact on the share structure of CCCI or the ability
for investors to buy or sell CCCI stock. Gareth Tang, President of
China Cable and Communication said, "Consolidating the first-year
financial statements for our Baoding joint venture has proven to be
quite an undertaking," said Mr. Tang. "We filed for an extension
last week because it became clear we would need the additional time
to ensure the financial accuracy of what has proven to be a very
complex business venture." The company will file its annual report
before April 29. However, the company is confident that it will
file well ahead of the deadline. About China Cable and
