Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. a) On or about January 1, 2006, Child, Sullivan & Company, the principal accountant for Shineco, Inc. (the "Company") changed its accounting practice from a corporation to a professional limited liability company named Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC. As this is viewed as a separate legal entity, the Company terminated its accounting arrangement with Child, Sullivan & Company as principal accountant and engaged Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC, as the Company's principal accountants for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 and the interim periods for 2005 and 2006. The decision to change principal accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors. None of the reports of Child, Sullivan & Company, on the Company's financial statements for either of the past two years or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements between the Company and Child, Sullivan & Company, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Child, Sullivan & Company, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. Further, Child, Sullivan & Company has not advised the Registrant that: 1) internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist; or 2) information has come to the attention of Child, Sullivan & Company which made it unwilling to rely upon management's representations, or made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management; or 3) the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly, or information has come to the attention of Child, Sullivan & Company that they have concluded will, or if further investigated might, materially impact the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. (b) On or about January 2, 2006 the Registrant engaged Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC as its principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements as successor to Child, Sullivan & Company. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the Registrant has not consulted with the entity of Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, nor did the entity of Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC provide advice to the Registrant, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. Further, during the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the Registrant has not consulted the entity of Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
