PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

 

(a)

The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense

o

(b)

The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

 

(c)

PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

SinoTech Energy Limited (the “Company”) could not file its annual report on Form 20-F for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 by March 31, 2012, primarily due to the resignation of Ernst & Young Hua Ming,  LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as the Company’s independent registered public accountant.

 

As the Company disclosed in its Form 6-K dated September 27, 2011, Ernst & Young had resigned from its engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accountant and had withdrawn its opinion with respect to the Company’s September 30, 2010 financial statements and that opinion should no longer be relied upon.

 

Therefore, the Company is unable to file its annual report on Form 20-F in a timely manner. The Company cannot estimate when such annual report will be filed at this time.

The Company’s September 30, 2010 financial statements were included in the Company’s annual report dated March 31, 2011.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3)

It is anticipated that there will be significant changes in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year; however, due to the resignation of the Company’s independent registered public accountant, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the changes in results of operations.
