Section 4: Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

(1)  
Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

(a)  
On June 13, 2008, Worldwide Biotech & Pharmaceutical Company (“Registrant”) dismissed Li & Company, PC (“Li & Company”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
(b)  
The report of Li & Company on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended, which was the only fiscal year that Li & Company reported on our consolidated financial statements, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than an explanatory paragraph as to a going concern.
(c)  
The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant on June 13, 2008.
(d)  
During the Registrant’s most recent year and the subsequent interim periods through June 13, 2008, there were no disagreements with Li & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Li & Company, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such year.
(e)  
On June 17, 2008, the Registrant provided Li & Company with a copy of a Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that it furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on June 27, 2008, and an updated version is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

(2)   New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms.

On June 13, 2008, the Registrant engaged Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA Limited of Room 201, 2/F, Two Grand Tower, 625 Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong to review the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders equity, and cash flows (“financial statements”) for the period then ended. Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA Limited was also to review the Registrant’s quarterly financial information for the third quarter ending September 2008. For the period commencing with the most recent two fiscal years and ending on the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of Parker Randall (H.K.) CPA Limited on June 13, 2008, the Registrant did not consult with Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA Limited regarding the application of accounting principles to any contemplated or completed transactions nor the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, and neither written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considerer by the company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

By letter dated June 30, 2008, the Commission notified the Registrant that Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA Limited was not recognized to practice before it. As a result, the Board of Directors dismissed Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA on August 5, 2008, and engaged Kempisty & Company Certified Public Accountants, P.C. In connection with its short engagement, Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA has not reported on any financial statements of the Registrant. Accordingly, there were no reports on our consolidated financial statements that contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or that were qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

In addition, during the Registrant’s most recent year and the subsequent interim periods through August 5, 2008, there were no disagreements with Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such year.

On August 5, 2008, the Registrant provided Parker Randall CF (H.K.) CPA Limited with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and requested that it furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
