     This Amendment No. 1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to report that the Company provided Grant Thornton, Beijing (“GT Beijing”) with a copy of the disclosures made in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that GT Beijing furnish a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures. However, GT Beijing refused to furnish such a letter, and claims that it did not complete the internal engagement approval process, in spite of the fact that an executed engagement letter was delivered to the Company.
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
     Following the appointment of GT Beijing, an PCAOB registered CPA firm, effective as of April 21, 2006, it came to the attention of the Company that there is a dispute between GT Beijing and Grant Thornton, International about the nature of their affiliation. The Company was not aware of this dispute and accordingly, has rescinded its appointment of GT Beijing. The Company is currently seeking to appoint a highly reputable firm to act as its new independent registered accountant. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
     GT Beijing did not issue any report on the Company’s financial statements nor any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion. There were no disagreements with GT Beijing. whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to GT Beijing’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with GT Beijing’s report.
     None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B occurred within the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and through April 18, 2006.
     The Company provided GT Beijing with a copy of the foregoing disclosures.
