Shangdong Jintai, a pharmaceutical company based in Jinan, today issued a statement to Shanghai Stock Exchange saying that it has "lost touch" with its general manager and chief financial officer Zhang Xinwen, who is alleged to be involved in the investigation of irregular share trading by Gome's former chairman Huang Guangyu and his elder brother Huang Junqing.

The elder Huang, who was president of Towercrest Group, a real estate company, acquired Jintai in 2001 by an injection of more than 125 million yuan ($18.29 million) in new capital. Before his "departure" from Jintai, Zhang was also assistant to Huang and served as vice-president of two subsidiaries of Towercrest.

Headquartered in Jinan, Jintai, a producer of chemical materials for making drugs, has annual sales of more than 1 billion yuan. The company's shares closed on Feb 10 at 3.34 yuan.
