China Yingxia International, based in Harbin, and a Chinese provider in the nutraceutical industry engaged in the development, manufacture and distribution of nutritional food products, dietary supplements and personal care products in the country, disclosed that its chief executive and chairwoman, Yingxia Jiao, is in talks with the committee formed by certain investors in China.
The investors with whom Ms Jiao is in negotiations had loaned funds to her prior to China Yingxia acquiring the Harbin Yingxia Industrial Group Co, its wholly-owned subsidiary in China, the firm explains. Currently, there are disputes between these investors and Ms Jiao concerning interest payments on these loans. These disputes adversely affected the normal operations of Harbin Yingxia, the company says.
Slowdown of Chinese economy contributed to firm's difficulties
Ms Jiao said she believes that the slowdown of the general economy in China contributed to the difficulties in cash flows of her businesses which have further affected the interest payments that are due to the initial Chinese investors in the firm.
She said that "the disputes that arose since November 2008 have caused our subsidiary, Harbin Yingxia Industrial Group Co Ltd to shut down its operations temporally in late February 2009. As a result, the financial performance of the company in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 have been and will continue to be adversely affected. The company, therefore, withdraws its guidance of sales and net income for 2008 as well as other forward-looking statements previously set forth in Stock Exchange Commission filings, press releases and other public discussions."
May be unable to file Form 10-K timely
The company expects to give a more detailed account of these matters, as well as the full financial implications, in a separate press release or in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. These difficulties may cause the group to be unable to file the Form 10-K in a timely manner.
"Efforts have been made to resolve the disputes and to restore the daily operations of the company. Arrangement is being made with the participation of the Harbin municipal government officials to negotiate with the representatives of the initial Chinese 'investors.' We hope that an agreement will be reached with the committee of the investors that will allow the company to return to its operations and to carry out the annual audit and 10K preparation, although delay may be expected," Ms Jiao stated.
