Information included in this Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Yew Bio-Pharm Group, Inc. (herein referred to as the “Company” or “Registrant”), to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that any projections or other expectations included in any forward-looking statements will come to pass. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Except as required by applicable laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. 

 

Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

(a) On November 9, 2018, the board of directors of the Yew Bio-Pharm Group, Inc. (the “Company”) with the agreement of its auditor terminated the services MaloneBailey, LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm, (“MaloneBailey”), effective as of November 9, 2018.

 

The reports of MaloneBailey on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and in the subsequent period through November 9, 2018, there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the matter in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

The Company provided MaloneBailey with a copy of the disclosures in the preceding paragraph and requested in writing that MaloneBailey furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. A copy of the letter provided by MaloneBailey is filed as exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b) On November 15, 2018, the Company, based on the decision of its board of directors, approved the engagement of Simon & Edwards, LLP, Diamond Bar, California (“S&E”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, commencing November 15, 2018.

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and through the date of the board of directors’ decision, the Company did not consult S&E with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
