Item 4.01

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Dismissal of Independent Accountants
Effective as of December 22, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the board of directors (the “Board”) of Winland Ocean Shipping Corp., a Texas corporation (the “Registrant”), dismissed Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg”) as the Registrant’s principal independent registered public accounting firm. Weinberg had been engaged to audit the Registrant's financial statements since October 28, 2008.
No report prepared by Weinberg included in the Registrant’s financial statements for the past two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim periods through the Effective Date, contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
The dismissal of Weinberg as the Registrant’s principal independent registered public accountants was approved by the Board effective as of the Effective Date.
During the Registrant’s two (2) most recent fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Weinberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with any report prepared by Weinberg.
During the Registrant’s most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, Weinberg did not advise the Registrant of any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) - (D) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant requested Weinberg to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) New Independent Accountants
Effective as of December 22, 2011, the Board approved the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as its principal independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Registrant’s financial statements. The Registrant did not consult MaloneBailey on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K during the Registrant’s two (2) most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period prior to engaging MaloneBailey.
