Forward Looking Statements
This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical Company (the “Registrant”) from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Registrant’s management. When used in the Filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Registrant or the Registrant’s management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to the Registrant’s industry, operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Effective April 26, 2007, Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, Chartered Accountants (“SLF”) was dismissed as Skystar Bio-Pharmaceutical Company’s (the “Registrant”) certifying independent accountant engaged to audit the Registrant’s financial statements. SLF was engaged as auditors to the Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2006 from March 6, 2007 to April 26, 2007. During the course of the audit, SLF requested additional audit documentation and /or information, which management could not provide in a timely manner to allow SLF to complete the audit of the Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2006 in a time frame that was acceptable to the Registrant. As a result, the Registrant re-engaged its prior auditor, Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer and Torbet LLP (“Moore Stephens”), which provided audit services for the Registrant from February 21, 2006 to March 6, 2007 and is very familiar with the Registrant’s business and operations and also reviewed the Registrant’s quarterly reports for quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006.
Prior to their dismissal, there were no disagreements with SLF 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 SLF would have caused them to make reference to this subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, nor were there any "reportable events" as such term as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Regulation S-B").
The Registrant requested SLF to furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above by the Registrant. A copy of the letter by SLF is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
Effective on April 26, 2007, Moore Stephens, whose address is 1199 South Fairway Drive, Suite 200, Walnut, California 91789, was engaged to serve as the Registrant's new independent certifying accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements.
Prior to engaging Moore Stephens, the Registrant had not consulted Moore Stephens regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements or a reportable event, nor did the Registrant consult with Moore Stephens regarding any disagreements with its prior auditor 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 the prior auditor, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
The dismissal of SLF as the Registrant’s certifying independent accountant and the engagement of Moore Stephens as its new certifying independent accountant were both approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors.
