Explanatory Note

This current report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by China Valves Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) to update the Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2012 (the “Original Filing”).


Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

During the interim review of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s top management discovered that the Value Added Tax (“VAT”) return of the Company’s subsidiary, Shanghai Hanwei Valves Co. Ltd. (“Hanwei”), could not be reconciled to the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. After internal auditing and investigation, management found that Hanwei purchased certain equipment from a third party to perform reverse engineering and improve its products. Since the third party did not provide Hanwei with an invoice or any other written record of the sale and, because Hanwei was concerned that its purchase of the equipment might cause it to become the subject of a challenge with respect to intellectual property rights associated with the equipment, Hanwei’s management made the determination to account for this purchase transaction as VAT and supplementary tax payments against the VAT payable and paid the third party as such.

The Company then retained Shanghai Minxin Accounting Firm (“Minxin”) to do an independent auditing of Hanwei for its 2010, 2011 and 2012 VAT. Minxin did not find any problem with Hanwei’s 2010 VAT and supplementary tax payments. However, Minxin found that for the period between January to September 2011, Hanwei underpaid approximately RMB 11.0 million (approximately $1.7 million) for VAT and supplementary tax. Minxin also found that for the period between October 2011 to September 2012, Hanwei underpaid approximately RMB 1.2 million (approximately $0.2 million) for VAT and supplementary tax. Until the end of September 2012, Hanwei underpaid a total of approximately RMB 12.2 million (approximately $1.9 million) for VAT and supplementary tax.

To mitigate the internal control problem, the Company has taken the following measures:

  • Committed to pay the underpaid tax;

  • Performed targeted training and investigation for Hanwei financial personnel;

  • Retained third parties to communicate with Hanwei financial personnel who were involved in the tax underpayment issue;

  • Terminated certain managers who made the decision to account for this purchase transaction as VAT and supplementary tax payments against the VAT payable;

  • Strengthen Hanwei’s internal control.

Management will discuss and coordinate with the Company’s current independent accounting firm Friedman LLP to do a restatement of certain line items presented in the consolidated financial statements and the relevant notes for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the year ended September 30, 2011, and the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
