NEW YORK and SHENZHEN, March 31 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- New Energy Systems Group (OTC Bulletin Board: NEWN), a vertically integrated original design manufacturer and distributor of lithium ion batteries and backup power systems, today announced that it will file a 15-day extension notification with the SEC relating to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. New Energy Systems Group filed for the extension to allow additional time to finalize its 2009 financial statements.
Mr. Fushun Li, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In addition to operating a rapidly growing business, our management has been busy completing the audits and integration of two recent and sizeable acquisitions over the past several months. As a result of these factors, it has taken us longer than we had originally anticipated completing our 2009 audit. While we regret this delay, we wanted to assure investors that we expect our 2009 results to be in-line with our previous guidance range for net income between $5.3 and $6.0 million. We also remain confident in our prior guidance for 2010 projected net income of at least $15.6 million, or $1.23 per share, excluding acquisition related expenses."
