ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

Effective June 29, 2018, Sino Agro Food, Inc. (the “ Company ”) accepted the resignation of David Yueng, ECOVIS HK (“ ECOVIS ”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. As of June 29, 2018, the Company engaged ZHEN HUI CPA (“ ZHCPA ”) as its new independent accountant based on the recommendation of the audit committee of its board of directors.

 

The reports of ECOVIS on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. In connection with its audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017, there were no disagreements with ECOVIS 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 ECOVIS, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on the financial statements for such years or periods, as the case may be.

 

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to include the letter from ECOVIS constituting Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017 and through June 29, 2018, the Company has not consulted with ZHCPA on any matter that (i) involved 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, in each case where a written report was provided or oral advice was provided that ZHCPA concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
