LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP announces that all persons or entities who purchased the securities of A-Power Energy Generation Systems, Ltd. ("A-Power" or the "Company") APWR, between March 31, 2008 and June 27, 2011, inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until August 31, 2011 to file a motion with the Court to be appointed as Lead Plaintiff. The securities fraud class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

A copy of the Complaint is available from the court or from Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP.

The Complaint charges A-Power and certain of its current and former executive officers with violations of federal securities laws. A-Power, through its subsidiaries, provides onsite distributed power generation systems and micro power grids for industrial companies, primarily in the People's Republic of China. The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company's business and financial performance. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company improperly accounted for its related-party transactions such that its financial statements were presented in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP); (2) the Company's revenues and income were misstated in violation of GAAP; (3) the Company's revenue and income reported in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission were overstated as the Company reported materially lower revenue and net income in its filings with China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC); (4) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (5), as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Any person or group who suffered a loss as a result of purchasing A-Power securities between March 31, 2008 and June 27, 2011, may ask the Court to be appointed as Lead Plaintiff, but must file a motion no later than the August 31, 2011 deadline. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent class member.
