Read the Complaint

The Complaint charges China Energy and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that defendants allowed Company insiders to self-deal in the Company's January 2006 private placement; (2) that China Energy failed to comply with SEC rules regarding limitations on sales of restricted stock; and (3) that as a result of this failure to comply with SEC rules, trading of China Energy's stock would be halted by NASDAQ.

On April 20, 2005, China Energy announced that the Company's stock would begin trading on NASDAQ on April 21, 2005. Shares of the Company's common stock would continue trading under the ticker symbol "CESV." The listing application was approved by NASDAQ on April 13, 2005. On February 15, 2006, NASDAQ announced that trading in shares of China Energy was halted at 3:30 p.m., EST, for "additional information requested" from the Company at a last price of $6.82. On March 22, 2006, China Energy announced that NASDAQ's request for information involved the facts and circumstances regarding the underlying transactions related to the rescission of certain Rule 144 legal opinions by the Company's prior securities counsel who resigned in February 2006, as well as certain other matters related to the Company's issuance of securities. The Company reported that it retained new securities counsel and was cooperating with NASDAQ in an effort to resolve any questions or issues raised by NASDAQ in order to resume trading as soon as possible. As of the date of filing of the Complaint, China Energy stock is still halted from trading. No indication has been given as to when, if ever, the Company's stock will resume trading.
