Item 4.02(a). Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
On May 16, 2014, the Board of Directors of China Ginseng Holdings, Inc. ( the “Company” or “we”, “us”) concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2013 contained in our Form 10-Q originally filed on February 14, 2014 should no longer be relied upon due to errors in connection with an overstated depreciation expense by $97,609 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we reviewed the depreciation of machinery and equipment acquired during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and determined that depreciation expense was overstated by $97,609 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. This error impacted property and equipment (net) and total assets in consolidated balance sheet as well as costs and expenses and net loss in the consolidated statements of operations. These errors were considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

Subsequently, our Board of Directors discussed this matter with our independent registered public accounting firm, Cowan, Gunteski & Co., P.A., and decided to restate the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2013 to correctly record the depreciation expense during such periods.
