During an internal audit in September 2015, some suspected misappropriations by the Company’s financial controller came to light. The financial controller was responsible for the Company’s wealth management business. The Company identified transactions involving loans/deposits worth nearly RMB 1.5 billion entered into over a period of about 1.5 years. The entire amount remains unrepaid or has been forfeited. The Company was found to have significant internal control deficiencies in relation to its wealth management business. The directors had failed to implement effective risk management and internal control procedures to supervise the financial controller or safeguard the Company’s assets.
