Zungui Haixi's Special Committee Provides Update

16/09/2011 1:10pm

Marketwired Canada


Zungui Haixi Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ZUN) (the "Company"), a China-based
manufacturer of sportswear and casual footwear, today announced that the Board
of Directors of Zungui Haixi Corporation (the "Company") on August 28, 2011
appointed a committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee") to
conduct an independent investigation into the issues pertaining to the current
financial statements identified during the course of the audit work for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 conducted by the Company's independent auditor,
Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"). The investigation is also intended to address any
issues that arise as to prior period financial statements.


The Special Committee, composed of Patrick Ryan (Chair), Margaret Cornish and
Elliott Wahle, has been given full authority and broad powers in connection with
the investigation and related matters, including ongoing communications and
cooperation with the Ontario Securities Commission, TSX Venture Exchange and
other regulatory authorities. 


As reported on August 22, 2011, EY has suspended procedures with respect to the
audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011 and
recommended that that the issues it raised be addressed by an independent
investigation. The concerns raised by EY relate in part to inconsistencies in
bank documents and the inability to obtain bank confirmations in a manner
acceptable to the auditors. The bank balances are one of the largest items on
the balance sheet. In addition, EY identified issues as to incorrect VAT
invoices supporting purchases from certain of the Company's suppliers. 


The Special Committee has retained Stikeman Elliott LLP as Canadian counsel and
King and Wood as Chinese counsel. Stikeman Elliott has retained KPMG Forensic.
These professional advisors have been selected to advise and to assist the
Special Committee in the independent investigation it has been mandated to
undertake by the Board. King and Wood has been in contact with the Company's
bank in China, the Agricultural Bank of China, which is reviewing the documents
in question.  


The Special Committee has had a number of discussions and other communications
with Yanda Cai, CEO and a director of the Company and whose family are the
Company's principal shareholders, over the course of the last four weeks,
seeking their cooperation and assistance. It is not clear whether such
cooperation or the funding necessary for the Special Committee to undertake its
investigation will be forthcoming and the Special Committee is considering
alternative courses of action. The Board resolution appointing the Special
Committee, which was unanimously passed by all of the directors, calls for full
cooperation from all members of the Board and Management.  


The Special Committee has been advised that Ontario Securities Commission Staff
has an ongoing investigation in relation to the Company.


The Special Committee is not able at this time to provide guidance as to the
expected timing of its work but will assess that continually and make further
announcements as appropriate.
