| Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
On March 9, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of China Commercial Credit, Inc. (the “Company”), determined that the interim financial statements at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, which are included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 originally filed with the SEC on February 17, 2015, should no longer be relied upon. In February and March 2015, the Company revisited the classification of its loan and guarantee portfolio within its rating system and decided to test the adequacy of the allowances calculated thereby to determine the need to reclassify certain loans into different categories. As a result of such tests and reclassifications, the Company has decided to make certain changes to its provision for loan losses and provision on financial guarantee services.
The Audit Committee discussed such changes with Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP, the Company’s independent auditors. On March 12, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, which restated certain numbers to reflect the referenced changes. Details concerning such restatements, including a reconciliation of the previously reported financial statements and the restated financial statements, are contained in such amendment.
As a result of such restatements, the Company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was adjusted from $4,187,067 to a net loss of $16,098,749, and for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $5,280,000 to $17,192,382.
