Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.

On May 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of Big Tree Group, Inc. determined that certain of our consolidated financial statements could no longer be relied upon as a result of an error in these financial statements, including:

• our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013; and

• our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
.
Based upon analysis of our current tax research and interpretations of China tax regulations, we have determined that our subsidiary, Big Tree International Co., Ltd., a Brunei company, may be considered a non-resident PRC company and may be subject to China income taxes and other payroll benefit taxes. Accordingly, we have decided to accrue China income taxes and payroll benefit taxes pursuant to China tax regulations. Currently, we are reviewing our corporate tax structure and plan on restructuring our tax structure to ensure that Big Tree International Co., Ltd. is not subject to such taxes in China.  We have previously restated our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended, as well as our unaudited consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013 and for the three months then ended, to reflect errors in those financial statements based upon this analysis.

Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, when filed, will reflect the following restatements in our unaudited consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months then ended:

Ÿ           an increase in our current liabilities by $1,544,401,
Ÿ           a reduction in our net income by $199,400 or $0.02 per common share (basic and diluted), and $299,329 or $0.03 per common share (basic and diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, to reflect the accrual of income taxes, payroll benefit taxes and all related estimated penalties and interest,
Ÿ           a reduction in the beginning retained earnings by $1,208,543 to reflect the accrual of such taxes and penalties for the 2012 and 2011 periods, and
Ÿ           a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income by $36,529.
