The SEC has released it's findings...ironically it's Mindy Wang and Jeff Watson that get the fines and suspensions. Jimmy Wang escapes punishment because he turns States witness and rats everyone out to save his hide.
Fines are rather small considering the offenses. Lots of new information including failed buyouts of the company during 2012. No information on what is planned for the remainder of the company that generated 20% of WEMU's total revenues. Or if they ever plan on resusitating the stock which means figuring out how to get the revoked staus lifted.

SEC Charges Solar Manufacturer With Concealing Agreement to Transfer Ownership Stake in Its Chinese Subsidiary
09/06/2012 03:51 PM EDT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2012-181
Washington, D.C., Sept. 6, 2012 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a solar panel manufacturer headquartered in South San Francisco and three of its former executives with defrauding investors by concealing the transfer of nearly half of the ownership stake in its Chinese subsidiary to three individuals in China who manage the subsidiary.
The SEC alleges that Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA Inc. (WEMU) raised nearly $9 million from U.S. investors in early 2010 in order to expand its solar subsidiary based in Rugao City, China. The Chinese subsidiary represented the bulk of WEMU’s operations and generated 77 percent of the company’s revenue the previous year. In a power point presentation at road shows and in other communications with investors, the company’s founder and chairman of the board Jimmy Wang and the company’s president Jeffrey Watson touted the solar subsidiary’s success as the primary growth area for the company and represented that the company fully owned its Chinese subsidiary. They neglected to tell investors that WEMU actually was set to transfer 49 percent of the equity in the Chinese subsidiary to its three managers. This critical ownership deal was not disclosed in the company’s filings or offering documents. Later, Wang and his wife Mindy Wang, who served as the company’s vice president, secretary and treasurer, went so far as to sign additional agreements to effectuate the transfer that were concealed from WEMU’s board and auditors.
WEMU, the Wangs, and Watson agreed to settle the SEC’s charges.
“WEMU and its executives deliberately withheld the fact that its investors would not have a full ownership stake in its largest and most profitable subsidiary,” said Marc J. Fagel, Director of the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office. “The decreased ownership interest in the subsidiary would be a key piece of information for anyone investing in a company with significant offshore operations.”
According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in San Francisco, because the company’s future success depended on the technical expertise and sales connections of the three Chinese solar managers, WEMU entered into a stock option agreement with them in January 2008 that included consideration for a future change in organizational structure. The Chinese subsidiary grew dramatically over the next year and quickly became WEMU’s most profitable subsidiary. In February 2009, Jimmy Wang signed two key agreements on behalf of WEMU to share 49 percent of the Chinese subsidiary’s net profits with the solar managers and to transfer 49 percent of the subsidiary’s equity to them in February 2010. Failure to disclose these agreements resulted in WEMU filing false and misleading quarterly reports for the first three quarters of 2009 and first quarter of 2010.
According to the SEC’s complaint, WEMU management began planning a capital raise in the fall of 2009 so it could expand its solar operations by building a factory in China to manufacture solar panels. When Jimmy Wang and Watson went out to raise money from investors in early 2010, there was no mention of the agreement to transfer an ownership stake. Instead, in order to avoid informing investors about the profit sharing arrangement and contractual obligation to transfer equity to the Chinese subsidiary’s managers, Jimmy and Mindy Wang traveled to China in March 2010 to secretly sign a set of side agreements that allowed the solar managers to begin the registration process with the Chinese government to effectuate the transfer. Both Jimmy and Mindy Wang concealed these side agreements from WEMU’s auditors, other executives, and its board of directors. The company’s failure to report the transfer of the solar subsidiary resulted in a material overstatement of net income to WEMU’s reported financial statements.
Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, WEMU agreed to pay a $100,000 penalty and be permanently enjoined from future violations of antifraud, reporting, books and records and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws. The Wangs and Watson consented to permanent bars from serving as officers or directors of a public company and agreed to be permanently enjoined from future violations of the antifraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws. Mindy Wang and Watson each agreed to pay penalties of $50,000. The terms of the settlement with Jimmy Wang reflect credit given to him by the Commission for his substantial assistance in the investigation and the fact that he has entered into a cooperation agreement to assist in the ongoing investigation.
The SEC’s investigation was conducted by staff accountant Adrienne F. Miller, staff attorney Alice L. Jensen, and Assistant Regional Director Jina L. Choi in the SEC’s San Francisco Regional Office.
The SEC acknowledges the assistance of the U.S. Department of Labor in this matter.

Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA Announces July Financial Update
Worldwide Engy& Mfg Usa (BB) (OTCBB:WEMU)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Wednesday 1 September 2010
Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (OTCBB:WEMU) ("Worldwide" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based China manufacturing company specializing in products for customers in the solar energy, aerospace, wireless telecommunications, medical equipment and automotive industries, today provided a financial update for the month of July 2010 with selected income statement data.
Total revenues for the month of July were approximately $14.8 million, up 229% from $4.5 million in the same period last year. Sales from the Company's solar division totaled $13.1 million, an increase of 296% from $3.31 million in the same month of 2009. Contract manufacturing revenues were $1.7 million, up 43% year-over-year from $1.19 million. Solar Division and Contract Manufacturing sales made up 89% and 11%, respectively, of total sales in July. The Company's gross profit margin was 9.1% in the month of July.
Jimmy Wang, CEO of Worldwide, commented, "The first month of our third quarter has been a promising one. We have incurred all of the one-time overhead costs of moving from our Ningbo facility to the new Nantong facility in Rugao, which negatively impacted our profit margin in the second quarter. So far this quarter we have seen the profit margins improve for both the solar division and the Company as a whole.
Based on our strong July sales, we are on a run rate to generate over $44 million in revenues for the third quarter and much higher operating profit than that of the recently reported second quarter. As we continue to ramp up production at our new Nantong facility and build on our existing success in penetrating the crucial European solar market, we expect strong continued financial growth in the remainder of the year."
Global demand for solar and other sources of clean energy continues to grow, as China spent roughly $23 billion on wind, solar, and other renewable power sources in the first half of 2010, more than total spending on renewable energy by the United States and Europe combined, according to Bloomberg. The U.S. was the second largest clean energy spender, at $13.7 billion, while Brazil and Canada followed at $4.7 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively.

Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA Announces Opening of PV Module Factory in Nantong
Facility Will Have an Initial Production Capacity of 100 MW Per Year Aug 9, 2010 5:55:00 AM
2010 GlobeNewswire, Inc.
Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (OTCBB:WEMU) ("Worldwide" or "the Company"), a U.S.-based China manufacturing company specializing in products for customers in the solar energy, aerospace, wireless telecommunications, medical equipment and automotive industries, today announced the opening of the Company's 129,000-square-foot photovoltaic (PV) solar module production facility and R&D center in Nantong, China.
The new facility will have an initial production capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) per year and is scheduled to begin initial operations in the third quarter of 2010 with 120 employees. The location is large enough to accommodate two building expansions that would bring the total manufacturing capacity to 300 MW per year. Worldwide expects to increase its staff at the facility to 200 associates near the end of 2010. In addition to the manufacturing plant, the facility also houses an 11,000-square-foot research center for the continued development of the Company's "Amerisolar" brand solar modules as well as complete PV solar energy systems. Unlike its leased facility in Ningbo, China, Worldwide owns the Nantong facility outright, as well as the 484,000-square-foot parcel of land on which it is situated. Approximately 100 people, including local government officials, attended the opening ceremony of the new facility on July 29th. Nantong, located near the coast of the East China Sea, is about 120 miles north of Shanghai and is known as the economic hub of the Jiangsu Province.
According to solar market research and consulting firm Solarbuzz, the global PV industry generated $38.5 billion in revenues in 2009 and is expected to experience strong growth over the next few years. Solarbuzz forecasts that annual global PV sales could approach as much as $100 billion by 2014.
Worldwide's Chief Executive Officer, Jimmy Wang, stated: "We are very excited about the opening of our Nantong facility, which will help us meet the growing demand for our high-quality solar modules. This new facility greatly increases our solar manufacturing capacity. We expect company ownership and lower operating costs at the new facility to improve margins for Worldwide."

Jimmy Wang, chief executive officer, stated: "We are extremely pleased with our first quarter results. We are strongly positioned for extraordinary growth in our solar division this year. I look forward to sharing our full financial results in the very near future."
WEMU is coming off a record revenue year in 2009. The first quarter 2010 report is charted for May 17, 2010. Another Record year is expected for WEMU the idea is bolstered by the fact that they have a 68 million dollar backlog in their solar division. They are currently under consideration for Up- Listing to the Amex exchange. They are meeting with the Amex committee on May 13th and not only do I anticipate an approval, but I believe it will be days immediately following the Amex committee meeting. Slating the approval for the week of May 17th
Personally I think this all translates into a company that is currently greatly undervalued and at these levels represents a real opportunity to accumulate shares at a discount.
Full Year Highlights
-- 2009 Revenue increased by 35.5% to $62.2 million compared to net sales
of $45.9 million in the full year 2008.
-- 2009 Solar Module revenue was $47.8 million compared to solar module
sales of $31.0 million for 2008, an increase of over 54.0%.
-- 2009 EBITDA (excluding derivative liability) was $0.69 per share, or
$2.5 million compared to $0.45 per share, or $1.3 million, for the full
year 2008.
-- Total Assets were up 81% year-over-year, from $19.13 million in 2008 to
$34.65 million in 2009.
-- Cash and Cash Equivalents increased 80.3% to $9.18 million
year-over-year.
-- Net Income (excluding derivative liability) was $1.72 million, or $0.48
per share in 2009, compared to $0.79 million, or $0.27 per share, in
2008.
$17 per share of revenue. Wow.
Company Reports Record Revenue of $62.2 Million, up 35.5% Year-Over-Year
Record Revenue!
Wemu Earnings come out when?
Does anyone know if they report 3-31-10?

Everything that Could Go Wrong has Gone Wrong
Just look at what the solar industry has gone through over the past few months.
Germany, a country with a government that has proudly subsidized the solar industry for years, recently announced subsidies could be getting cut. Draft legislation was recently introduced to cut subsidies for rooftop panels and solar farms by 15%.
In an industry dependent on subsidies, any cut is going to have a noticeable impact.
Also, the entire industry is facing tough times. The prices solar manufacturers have fallen sharply across the industry. In ENER's case, UBS noted the average price per solar module fell by 10% to $2.10 per watt. And that's still 10% higher than the rest of the industry.
As the last earnings season has shown, practically any company that doesn't have a big presence in the Chinese market, where the command-and-control economy has commanded solar to be a winner, has been getting hammered.
Finally, in the United States, funds from the stimulus package earmarked for solar projects have been tied up in red tape and the federal bureaucracy. Also, with 49 of the 50 states facing budget deficits, there isn't much extra cash to hand over to solar companies. And when it comes to installing a cap-and-trade scheme, a system designed to take money from the energy consumers and give it to alternative energy companies, prospects for implementing it are continually getting pushed back.
Avoid the High Costs of Conforming
Everything that can go wrong for solar has gone wrong. And, if judging by the price declines of the top solar stocks is any indication, solar investors have sold out and moved on.
That's all why solar is actually looking more attractive than ever. Not because the industry's prospects for are great, but because they're so poor.
Remember, buying something that no one wants is the toughest move an investor will ever have to make. Yet, as contrarian investors know, when a stock is so hated that no one is willing to buy it, the risk is lowest and the potential reward is the greatest. Not all of them will work out, but with the highly attractive risk/reward dynamics, less than have of them have to work out to become a very successful investor.
John Maynard Keynes wrote:
Knowing that our individual judgment is worthless, we endeavor to fall back on the judgment of the rest of the world which is perhaps better informed. That is, we endeavor to conform with the behavior of the majority or the average.
Right now, we've found a stock that's absolutely despised. We're seeing a situation where nearly everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, share prices have declined significantly, and almost no one is willing to buy now.
For contrarians who see that most everyone is conforming to the crowd and getting out of solar, it could be the right time to buy.
China is on the verge of becoming the world's largest energy consumer, energy prices are going higher over the long run, and solar could be in for another strong run. If so, solar would be the energy comeback story that no one is paying attention to right now. And disciplined investors with the right timeline should be starting to look at how to take full advantage.

More funds to help develop China's emerging industries
http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/?id...
By Wang Yanlin 2010-3-10
CHINA will allocate more funds to spur the development of the country's strategic emerging industries such as green energy and telecommunications, senior officials said on the sidelines of the annual sessions of the nation's top legislative and advisory bodies.
Zhang Shaochun, China's deputy finance minister, said the country planned to spend 70.9 billion yuan (US$10.3 billion) on environment protection and energy conservation projects this year, an increase of 33 billion yuan from a year earlier.
Of that amount, 50 billion yuan will be spent on research and enforcement of energy conservation and carbon emission reductions. Another 10.9 billion yuan will be spent in developing renewable energies.
For other strategic industries such as information technology and telecommunications, Zhang said the Ministry of Finance was collaborating with other related ministries on a plan.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said the planning agency will release a draft document describing the route of China's faster development in strategic industries in September.
"To speed up the developing pace of strategic industries is an important part in accelerating China's economic revamp," Zhang said.
He added that the commission had been carrying out a study to assess the potential of development in industries, including new materials, new energy, environment protection, carbon emission reduction, biomedicine, telecommunications, green vehicles, civil aviation and marine engineering.
Economic restructuring is a key topic at this year's sessions of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Last week, Premier Wen Jiabao said China had to vigorously push forward the reform of economic structure to lay the foundations for long-term development.

Better believe it: solar stocks recover
Thursday, 04 March 2010 10:02 Blaze Fabry
http://www.chinavestor.com/solar/71400-better-believe-it-solar-stocks-recovery.html
solar3 March 4, 2010 (Chinavestor) Chinese solar companies have started to report latest earnings and so far the picture is better than expected. JA Solar (NASDAQ:JASO), a mid size solar maker, started the solar earnings season earlier in February - and reported above analysts expectations. Industry heavy weight Trina Solar (NYSE:TSL) surprised the investor community to the upside at the end of February. The market started to take note after Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) earnings blew past expectations on Wednesday. Another industry leader, Suntech Power (NYSE:STP), reported before the open on Thursday giving investors a chance to examine the sector very closely.
Earnings of Suntech Power (NASDAQ:STP) is very important because when industry leaders recover and their stock price follows, that trickles down to the rest of the sector. Investors remain cautious with the solar sector - despite strong results. The truth is that the solar sector spooked investors once - back in 2006 when the picture was rosy and valuations flew out the window. But as the bubble burst and share prices fell to the fraction of previous prices, investors think twice before engaging the sector again.
However taking past hurts to the side and looking at the numbers only, there is a lot of reason for cheer. Solar companies have returned to profitability in the second part of 2009 - as was evidenced by 2009 Q3 numbers. Remember, each and every Chinese solar company returned to the black - a significant development for the sector. But the story doesn't end there.
As the following chart testifies, mid size Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) have bounced back strongly with a solid outlook for the quarter.
CSIQ_09Q3_estimates
The latest developments suggests the financial health of the sector is recovering, margins have stabilized while shipments skyrocketed. And while revenues have not fully recovered year-over-year since 2008, current trends suggests 2010 will be a year for solar stocks. To illustrate this claim, take a look at the following chart.
STP_09Q_revearnings_two
The first part tracks revenue and earnings growth for Suntech Power (NYSE:STP) 2004-2009. While profits have significantly improved in 2009, they're still way below record 2007 levels. Revenues fell from 2008, raising questions if profit growth was sustainable.
But if you zoom in the last six quarters, a totally different picture develops. The sector have bottomed out earlier in 2009. Revenues - and shipments - have been recovering steadily, margins firmed up while profits grew. The only component of the picture lacking momentum is stock price!
But that won't last long. Investors better believe that recovery is in the works and buy solar stocks in the cheap.
Not aware of any developments, but the volume definitely was unusual for this stock. Saw a few 5k, 10k blocks early.
WEMU $5.24 HOD up 4.8 %. Is this coming back to life? Volume 55,000 wow! any information...
Some reshuffling took place today with WEMU. Seems insignificant.
Press Release Source: Worldwide Energy & Manufacturing USA, Inc. On Monday February 22, 2010, 5:32 pm
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Marketwire - 02/22/10) - Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc. (OTC.BB:WEMU - News) today announced the appointment of Gerald DeCiccio as Chief Financial Officer, effective February 18, 2010. Jeff Watson, who has resigned as Acting Chief Financial Officer of the company, will continue to serve as Worldwide's President. To focus on his new role, Mr. DeCiccio has resigned as a director of the Company.
Mr. DeCiccio served as a director of Worldwide from June 1, 2009 until his resignation on February 18, 2010. Since June 2007, Mr. DeCiccio has been the Vice President and Corporate Controller of Ritz Interactive, Inc. Prior to that he was the Chief Financial Officer and a board member of GTC Telecom Corp. and its subsidiary, Perfexa Solutions, Inc. (Mr. DeCiccio took GTC public in 1999) and Chief Financial Officer for National Telephone & Communications, Inc. In these roles, he managed the finance, accounting, SEC reporting, treasury, human resources, investor relations, and legal departments. Mr. DeCiccio also held senior financial roles at Newport Corporation and Parker Hannifin Corporation and was a Supervising Senior Accountant for Ernst and Young. He has also been a member of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee for Interplay Entertainment, Inc. and GT Data Corp.
Jimmy Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of Worldwide, commented: "We are very pleased to have Gerald serve as our chief financial officer as his service as a director has been exemplary. His knowledge of our company and his extensive experience in corporate finance and SEC reporting make him a logical choice as we continue to pursue our growth strategies and expand our manufacturing capacity. I'd also like to thank Jeff for his excellent work as Acting CFO and for his continuing work as our President. Both of their talents will be invaluable as we position as a leading solar manufacturer."
New Chinese Solar filed for IPO (Daqo Energy), and will be listed on AMEX as DQ shortly. 6.5 ADRs priced between $12.50 and $14.50.
WEMU could be in for a ride, if this IPO does well.
Normally Nasdaq wants to see the reports from 2 quarters with the new auditors before approving the listing...Again - normally....there are, of course, many other factors affecting the approval decision...

Company Overview:
Worldwide USA, together with its Chinese subsidiaries, is a contract manufacturer, engineering firm and direct manufacturer. A contract manufacturer supplies components and assemblies, either through direct manufacturing or through sub contracting to other manufacturers, according to the customers’ designs, drawings and quality criteria. When utilizing our subcontractors, they will provide the plant, equipment, manufacturing working capital and factory labor and Worldwide provides the sales, management, production control and technical support for the products. Worldwide’s goal is to provide timely delivery and high quality components at manufacturing costs less than what Worldwide’s customers would pay for similar parts in the United States.
Worldwide provides its services to several companies in the United States, Europe and South Korea primarily in the solar module, aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. Although Worldwide historically focused on manufacturing components for high tech industries, in 2008 the Company expanded into the solar module markets. Worldwide’s CEO, Jimmy Wang, realizes that the solar module industry provided Worldwide with a unique opportunity to use its core strength of providing high quality components and assemblies, with timely delivery, to develop a solar module team capable of successfully entering the solar module markets. The Company’s solar module brand “AmeriSolar” has already earned numerous quality certifications including IEC612215, TUV, CE and has recently applied for the UL certification. These solar modules meet or exceed all industry norms for performance, quality and functional life in the field.
Worldwide currently employs approximately 450 employees, including 33 staff engineers and 12 administrative personnel at Worldwide’s wholly owned subsidiary Intech in Shanghai, China and 400 employees who work at our factories in China. The remaining 13 employees work at the California office in South San Francisco. Five of these employees are in sales with the remaining eight employees working in support and administrative roles. All employees are full time.
Net sales for the year ending December 31, 2008 were $45,913,957 compared to $12,132,710 for the year ending December 31, 2007, an increase of $33,781,247 or approximately 278.4%. The primary reason for the increase was due to our energy division which started in February 2008 and generating sales of $30,999,962. Additionally, the acquisition of Detron generated sales of $1,720,965 for the Company in the fourth quarter.
Net profit for the year ending December 31, 2008 was $1,459,875 compared to $575,674 for the year ending December 31, 2007. The increase of $884,201 or 153.6% was the result of higher sales from our solar division. Net profit from this division was approximately 3%. It is expected that gross margins will improve as the Company continues its transition to becoming a direct manufacturer for its solar module products as the newly established factory becomes operational. Further, the outlook for solar modules margins looks to improve as raw material necessary for production of modules are expected to decline.
