VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 26, 2015) - Huaxing Machinery Corp. (TSX VENTURE:HUA) ("Huaxing" or the "Company") announces that it plans on restating its audited financial information. The retrospective restatement will be presented in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The restatements primarily result from adjustments to the Company's revenue recognition practices for its sales of robotic welding equipment to the Company's related party Shandong Huaxing Steel Construction Co., Ltd. ("Shandong Steel"). Shandong Steel is a subsidiary of Shandong Huaxing Mechanical Inc., the 20% equity owner of Shandong Gold Rhino Huaxing Machinery Corp., of which the Company owns 80% equity through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Gold Rhino Limited.

The Company's robotic welding equipment sales contracts with Shandong Steel stipulate that Shandong Steel is liable to pay the Company 65% of the sales contracts upon delivery in accordance with the terms of the contracts and the remaining 35% of the sales amounts one year after installation and confirmation the equipment meets specified quality and capacity requirements.

The Company's financial statements since the year ended December 31, 2012 have recognized 100% of the sales amounts as revenue upon successful commissioning of the equipment and the assurance of Shandong Steel's payment for the full sales amounts. The restatement will primarily impact the timing of recognition of revenue between the years 2012, 2013, and 2014. Sales revenue adjustments will result in adjustments to accounts receivable from Shandong Steel and VAT recoverable and may also result in changes to cost of goods sold and inventory.

In addition, certain amounts of VAT recoverable and inventory in relation to the sales contracts with Shandong Steel are expected to be reclassified from current assets to long term.

All adjustments will be subject to audit by our current auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Until the Company issues the restated financial information, investors should not rely on the previously disclosed financial information. The Company has been informed by the British Columbia Securities Commission that it will issue an order requiring all trading in the securities of the Company cease until the Company has filed the restated Financial Information.
