China Yuchai International Announces Restatement of 2005 Consolidated Financial Statements
Singapore, Singapore, 16 May, 2008 – China Yuchai International (NYSE: CYD) (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has determined to revise and restate the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005 consolidated financial statements”) to correct errors in the accounts of its subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited (“Yuchai”). The errors relate primarily to an understatement of accounts payable at December 31, 2005 by approximately RMB 167.8 million by Yuchai (“RMB168 million Adjustment”), which would result in the previously reported gross profit for 2005 decreasing by RMB 122.7 million.
As previously announced, the RMB168 million Adjustment was investigated by the Company’s Audit Committee with the assistance of independent counsel and independent forensic consultants, which found no evidence of fraud or intentional wrongdoing by any employee of the Company or Yuchai or any plan to intentionally inflate the profits of Yuchai. The investigation team identified certain control issues and made recommendations for improvement which are in the process of being implemented by the Company, under the direction of its Board of Directors.
In addition, during the course of finalizing the RMB168 million Adjustment, the Company identified other accounting errors which it has decided to correct as well. The impact of these other adjustments on the Company’s previously reported net income for 2005 is a further reduction of approximately RMB 21.9 million. The details of these correcting adjustments will be provided in the Company’s amended 2005 Annual Report on Form 20-F, which the Company will be filing shortly.
The Company expects the restatement of the 2005 consolidated financial statements to result in a net loss of RMB 32.3 million instead of the previously reported net income of RMB 68.5 million. Consequently, the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity is expected to be reduced by approximately 3.8% from RMB 2.67 billion to RMB 2.57 billion.
The RMB168 million Adjustment will result in an increase to the previously reported amount for inventory at December 31, 2005 by approximately RMB 45.1 million. Consequently, this adjustment will also have an impact on the Company’s previously announced 2006 unaudited interim and annual consolidated financial results.
The Company expects to file its 2006 Annual Report on Form 20-F by 30 June 2008. Thereafter, the Company will announce its unaudited consolidated financial results for 2007 and its unaudited consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2008 in the third quarter. The Company anticipates the net income it expects to report for 2007 will show an improvement over the net income it expects to report for 2006.
