October 2007 - According to a press release dated October 19, 2007, the complaint charges that FFHL and certain of its present and former officers, directors, and control persons violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by issuing a false and misleading Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the Company’s IPO.
 
According to the Complaint, on December 19, 2006 the Company commenced its IPO priced at $8.28 per share for 3,750,000 shares of Company stock. On December 22, 2006 FFHL announced the closing of its IPO and reported gross proceeds, including over-allotments, of approximately $35.6 million. The Complaint asserts that FFHL’s Registration Statement was false and misleading because the Company: (i) failed to reveal that its main operating assets were obtained through transactions that may not have been valid under Chinese law; (ii) failed to provide complete disclosures as to the circumstances of the Company’s acquisition of its main operating assets; and (iii) inaccurately stated that the likelihood of any action or recourse in connection with the Company’s acquisition of its main operating assets was remote.
 
The Complaint further alleges that on June 25, 2007 the Company announced that three of the Company’s major shareholders, one of whom is a Company director, were under investigation. On October 16, 2007 the Company announced that authorities in China had issued arrest notices for the same three individuals on suspicion of violations of Chinese laws and regulations. The Complaint asserts that these charges related to the Company’s acquisition of its main operating assets. As a result of these adverse disclosures, FFHL’s stock price dropped, damaging investors.
