July 5, 2011 - An investor in shares of A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd (NASDAQ: APWR now trading on the OTC sheets as APWR) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws.

According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd and certain of its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws by issuing false and misleading financial statements. Specifically the complaint alleges that A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd’s financial statements filed by A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd main subsidiaries with Chinese regulators showed less revenue and cash balances than those filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd reported a substantial increase in its annual Revenue from $98.70million in 2006 to $311.25million in 2009. However, it reported a decrease in its Net Income from $28.52million for 2008 to a Net Loss of $16.69million in 2009.

Shares of A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd (NASDAQ: APWR) rose in 2008 as high as $30.79 during June and fell until the end of 08 to $3.45 per share. In 2009 APWR shares increased from as low as $3.36 in March 09 to $19.58 on December 24, 2009.

Since then APWR stock fell to $1.85 per share on June 17, 2011 when A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd issued a press release announcing that Robert B. Leckie had resigned from its Board of Directors as a result of concerns that his views on process and best practices were not necessarily shared throughout the Company.

The same day an article was published on Seeking Alpha raising a number of red flags of fraud at A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd, including allegations that the 2009 financial statements filed by A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd's main subsidiaries with Chinese regulators showed less than one-tenth of the revenue and cash balances, which appear in A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd's financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
