Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On November 4, 2011, in the process of preparing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, management of the Company became aware that the Company’s financial statements in the quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 erroneously did not include interest income of $381,476 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $381,745 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, related to the loan made to Nanchang Institute of Technology and the tax effect of $57,222 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $57,262 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. On November 8, 2011, the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, determined that the financial statements included in the quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 cannot be relied on and instructed the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to restate such financial statements and file amendments to such financial statements as soon as practicable.
The Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, as well as its management have discussed the matters in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Sherb & Co., LLP, the Company’s independent public registered accounting firm.
