Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.02.     
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(a)           Audit Committee’s Conclusion as to Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements
 
On September 13, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of First China Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. (the “Company”), after consultation with management of the Company, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the audited financial statements of Kun Ming Xin Yuan Tang Pharmacies Co. Ltd. (“XYT”) as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the First China Pharmaceutical Group Limited (“FCPG HK”) Pro Forma Unaudited Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Pro Forma Financial Statements of the Company and XYT as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010, and the Pro Forma Financial Statements of the Company and FCPG HK as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2010, all as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as Exhibits 99.1(a), 99.1(b), 99.2(a) and 99.2(b) to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A on July 15, 2011 (the “July Form 8-K”), as well as the FCPG HK Unaudited Financial Statements from the date of incorporation to June 30, 2010 filed as Exhibit 99.1(c) to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A on January 19, 2011 (the “January Form 8-K,” together with the July Form 8-K, collectively the “Form 8-K”) (Exhibits 99.1(a), 99.1(b), 99.1(c), 99.2(a) and 99.2(b), collectively, the “Form 8-K Financial Statements”), should be restated in response to certain comments received by the SEC.  In addition, the Audit Committee also concluded that the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on July 14, 2011 (the “2010 Annual Report”) should also be restated accordingly.  The SEC’s comments concern a reclassification of a line item as a distribution to a shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  As a result of the foregoing restatement, the Company’s financials will now reflect a reduction in retained earnings.
 
The Company’s Audit Committee, in consultation with management, concluded that in light of the restatement discussed above, the previously issued Form 8-K Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 8-K, and the financial statements included with the Company’s 2010 Annual Report, should no longer be relied upon.

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, authorized by our Board of Directors, discussed the foregoing issues, findings and conclusions with Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA Limited, the Company’s independent certifying accountant (“Parker Randall”).

In conjunction with Parker Randall, the Company is working diligently to complete the restatement of the above-referenced financial statements. The Company expects to file an amended 2010 Annual Report and an amended Form 8-K, containing the restated financial statements, by no later than September 23, 2011. However, there can be no assurance that these filings will be made within this period.

Section 7 - Regulation FD

Item 7.01.                      Regulation FD Disclosure.
