Marketwired
GC China Turbine Corporation ("GC China" or the "Company") (OTCBB:
GCHT) 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."
