Item 4.01    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
Previous Independent Accountants

On August 4, 2011, BDO China Li Xin Da Hua CPA Co., Ltd. (“BDO”) resigned as our registered independent public accounting firm because parties were unable to agree to BDO’s proposed increase in their fee for conducting our 2011 audit from $200,000 to $610,000.

The audit report of BDO on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, and 2011, and through the date of this report, we have had no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, and 2011, and through the date of this report on Form 8-K, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC.
 
We provided BDO with a copy of this disclosure before its filing with the SEC. We requested that BDO provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and we received a letter from BDO stating that it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of this letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

New Independent Accountants
 
On August 4, 2011, our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Albert Wong & Co. (“AW”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm.

AW was previously engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, and resigned on June 28, 2010.  During that period, as disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on June 28, 2010,  (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and AW on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to AW’s satisfaction, would have caused AW to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the period commencing June 28, 2010 through the reengagement of AW as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted AW with respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the Company.  There was no discussion between AW and the Company regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K, with AW, or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Item 8.01     Other Events

On August 10, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the resignation of BDO and appointment of AW as its independent registered public accounting firm. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
