Fuwei Films Appoints New Independent Auditor

BEIJING, CHINA, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:FFHL) ("Fuwei") today announced that the audit committee of its Board of Directors had appointed Murrell, Hall, Mcintosh & Co PLLP ("MHM") as its independent auditor effective April 24, 2007. MHM had previously been retained earlier this year by Fuwei to advise regarding the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The appointment of MHM was made after consideration by the audit committee and the Board of Directors and was not the result of any disagreement between Fuwei and its prior independent auditing firm on any matter of accounting principles or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or practice.

In addition, Fuwei announced that Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain (TTS&S) has been engaged as consultants to assist with its compliance with Section 404 and to facilitate improvements in Fuwei's internal controls over financial reporting.

Lin Tang, Chief Financial Officer of Fuwei noted, "We expect the change of auditors will lead to an annual expense reduction and that MHM will provide prompt and efficient audit service as a result of their experience representing public companies located in the People's Republic of China. TTS&S also has a methodology to document, assess, and test the internal controls over financial reporting that management believes will help Fuwei with its ongoing compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements"
