Item 4.01 — Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
     (a) On February 28, 2007, Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP (“GGK”) resigned as ChinaCast Education Corporation’s (the “Company”) independent registered public accounting firm and GGK submitted its letter of resignation to the Company on such date.
     There were no disagreements between the Company and GGK on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, during the two fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, and during the period beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending on the date of GGK’s resignation which disagreements, if not resolved to GGK’s satisfaction, would have caused GGK to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report issued in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B occurred within the two fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, and during the period beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending on the date of resignation. The audit report of GGK on the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2005, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such audit report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty (except for a going concern explanatory paragraph) audit scope or accounting principles. The Company has requested that GGK furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein. A copy of the letter from GGK addressed to the SEC dated March 12, 2007 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
     (b) On February 28, 2007, the Company engaged Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd. (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and during the period beginning on January 1, 2006 and ended on March 13, 2007, the Company has not consulted with Deloitte regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s Financial Statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event identified in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-B.
