WEIFANG, China, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- The
Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors
of Yuhe International, Inc. (Other OTC: YUII.PK) ("Yuhe" or the
"Company"), a leading supplier of day-old chickens raised for meat
production, or broilers, in the People's
Republic of China ("PRC"), today confirmed that it has
engaged Loeb & Loeb LLP as counsel in connection with an
independent investigation it is conducting with respect to issues
relating to the Company and the status of previously reported
acquisition transactions.
Although the Company's press release dated July 21 in this regard originally suggested that
the Audit Committee and its advisors would be publicly reporting
the results of the independent investigation to investors, the
Audit Committee today confirmed that the independent investigation
would proceed as is customary in such corporate investigations,
with the Audit Committee reporting such results to the full Board
of Directors of the Company, who will then determine the
appropriate remedial steps to be taken in light of the final
report. The Audit Committee will rely on the advice of its
own legal counsel in this regard and act in cooperation with the
Company with a view to full transparency regarding the independent
investigation process. As previously reported, Loeb &
Loeb LLP, is in the process of engaging a forensic accounting firm
in connection with launching the independent investigation, and the
Audit Committee expects to be in a position to announce this
engagement shortly.
