Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Investigates AutoChina International Limited

Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities AutoChina International Limited. (“AutoChina” or the “Company”) (NASDAQGS: AUTC - News), concerning whether the company and certain of its officers and directors have violated federal securities laws.

The investigation is related to AutoChina’s June 30, 2011, announcement that AutoChina is being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and expects to restate its previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and subsequent periods “to recognize a derivative liability relating to the Earn-out Share Provision, which was part of its initial business combination in 2009.” In addition, the Company disclosed that during AutoChina’s 2010 year-end process, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, “due to a lack of requisite internal U.S. GAAP experience.”
