Sinoenergy (SNEN) Gets Going Concern from Company's Registered Public Accountant for FY09 Statements
Sinoenergy Corporation (NASDAQ: SNEN) announced today that its independent registered public accounting firm has included a going concern qualification in its report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred a substantial operating and net loss, and, as of September 30, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $9.1 million. Furthermore, the Company has incurred a substantial amount of bank debt and other term debt that it is contractually obligated to pay in the near term, and the Company's ability to meet these obligations is dependent upon certain factors outside of the Company's control. The Company has limited financial resources to obtain and sustain profitability and positive cash flows. Historically, the Company has been highly dependent on external debt sources to fund its business growth and operations. Achievement of its objectives will be dependent upon continued external financing, as to which there is no guarantee. Achievement of the Company's objectives will also be dependent upon its ability to obtain a larger and more stable customer base, penetrating greater into markets for its higher margin products, continuing to expand its CNG station operations to achieve economies of scale in greater volume sales, and increasing profit margins and achieving other benefits from the future operations of the new PetroChina pipeline. The Company believes that it has borrowing capacity and will be able to borrow from major banks in China to finance its working capital deficit and fund its daily operations and other working capital needs. Management is pursuing a number of activities to address the Company's immediate liquidity needs, including the discussions with its banks for the restructuring or refinancing of loans, discussions with other debt or equity sources, cutting costs and seeking other means to improve operating efficiencies.
For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company sustained a net loss of $13.1 million, of $0.82 per share (basic and diluted) on net sales of $41.8 million, as compared with net income of $16.1 million or $1.02 per share (basic) and $0.98 per share (diluted) for the year ended September 30, 2008.
