Munich, 31 July 2013. The auditing and publication of the annual and consolidated financial statements of KINGHERO AG, the German holding company of a fast-growing Chinese fashion company, will be delayed further. The documents so far provided by the subsidiaries in China do not meet the required standards of accounting, so that the auditors Warth & Klein Grant Thornton AG were not yet able to conduct a full audit process.

The reason for the incomplete and inadequate business records are staff changes and staff capacities in the accounting departments of the subsidiaries. Kinghero AG aims to fix the staffing problems in financial accounting as soon as possible.

The new dates for publication of the Annual Report 2012 and the interim reports 2013 will be provided as soon as reliable timeline can be confirmed.
