Independent Internal Investigation
An anonymous letter, in which allegations of irregularities and improper conduct were made against the senior management of the Company in connection with the Company's acquisitions of FISH and SPR, the Company's disposal of its High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Tumor Therapy System business, its revenues as well as its relationships with stock analysts, was received by the Company's audit committee. The audit committee, consisting of three independent directors, decided to initiate an independent internal investigation into the allegations contained in the anonymous letter. In connection with this independent internal investigation, the audit committee engaged an independent law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, as well as independent forensic accountants, AlixPartners LLP, to assist the audit committee to carry out this independent internal investigation. The independent law firm and forensic accountants involved their experienced personnel from their U.S. offices to conduct this independent internal investigation and began their investigative work in April 2009 and the investigation lasted for more than three months. The investigation covered not only the entire senior management team but also employees from various key departments of all operating subsidiaries of the Company. The senior management and other relevant employees of the Company fully cooperated with the independent law firm and forensic accountants in the course of the investigation. During the process of the investigation, the independent law firm reported from time to time the scope, procedures and progress of the investigation to the audit committee. The independent law firm and forensic accountants have substantially completed their investigative work and have reported to the audit committee that the investigation has not identified evidence to support the allegations made in the anonymous letter.
Mr. Xiaodong Wu, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "The entire senior management team is pleased that the independent internal investigation is substantially complete and that it has found no evidence supporting the anonymous allegations. We can now focus our efforts back to the operations of the Company. We are thankful for the employees and the customers who were confident in the well-being of the Company during the past few months. We are confident that we will able to address the impact of this independent internal investigation on the timing of our financial reporting and other aspects of our operations and most importantly, the Company's fundamentals remain healthy." |
