SFCE stated the London-based auditor had left, with result from today "as a result of the expert risk associated with the several uncertainties [which] exist associating with [the] going concern of the [SFCE] team and the level of audit fees."

Last month, SFCE admitted it can not ensure receipt of a more-than-60% slice of the cashes anticipated from a fire sale of 140 MW of solar job ability in Xinjiang. The firm claimed it had been unable to structure the sale such that it can withdraw if the buyer-- the Zhejiang Zhengtai New Energy Development Co Ltd subsidiary of Zhejiang Chint Electronics-- fell short to pay the RMB288 million (US$ 41 million) owed by the solar job business to SFCE in addition to the RMB181 million asking cost.

SFCE said Belgian-based BDO Limited would replace Deloitte as its auditor.
