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

China Recycling Energy Corporation ("Company") concluded on April 28, 2008 and announced on April 28, 2008 that it would restate its financial statement on its Form 10-QSB for fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007.

Accordingly, the Company's prior Form 10-QSB Quarterly Reports for Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 should no longer be relied upon.

The Company's decision to restate was made in connection with a review of the Company's Form 10-QSB by the Corporation Finance Division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On March 14, 2008, the Company also received a notice from Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin-GPKM, LLP ("GPKM"), the Company's independent registered accounting firm, that the Company's prior Form 10-QSB Quarterly Reports for Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 should be restated and should no longer be relied upon. The notice from GPKM indicated that the accounting for equipment leases as direct financing leases was not in compliance with the GAAP standards and the equipment leases should be treated as sales type leases.

The Board of Directors made the decision to restate the Company's financial statements on April 28, 2008, following consultation with, and upon the recommendation of the management. The Company has also discussed the need to restate the previously issued financial statements and the matters disclosed in this filing with GPKM, and GPKM has concurred with the decision of the Board to proceed with the restatement and has furnished the Company a letter consenting to the statements made by the Company in this Form 8-K.

The financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 would be restated to reflect the following:

1)     Accounting for equipment leases as sales type leases instead of direct financing leases;
2)     Impact of write-off of account receivable of approximately $ 3.5 million as of December 31, 2006.

On the form 8-K filed on April 30, 2008, the Company did not specify the estimated amount of adjustment related to accounting for equipment leases because at that time GPKM was just engaged by Company as the independent auditor and the Company was unable to estimate the amount of adjustment related to equipment lease.

In addition to the Form 10-QSB Quarterly Reports for Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the financial statements on Form 10-KSB Annual Reports for Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2006, including the subsequent Form 10-KSB/A filed on March 06, 2008 and March 17, 2008, should no longer be relied upon due to the following:

Impact of write-off of account receivable of approximately $ 3.5 million as of December 31, 2006.

The account receivable that Company decided to write-off are the debts owed by Shanghai Sifang Information Technology Co. ("Sifang Information"). Given the further passage of time, the Company realized that it was unable to collect these account receivable from Sifang Information and decided that these account receivable should be written-off.

While the information contained herein describes all of the items for which the Company and GPKM have determined a restatement is appropriate at this time, there can be no assurance that further review and inquiry of the Company's financial statements will not identify additional items.


Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Form 8-K relating to the Company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future, including statements with the words "expects", "will", "intends" and "may" and statements relating to its expected adjustments to previously reported financial results, are forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results, including the items and amounts actually restated, and the timing of the completion of the restatement and related audit, could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. The actual items and amounts restated, and the actual timing of completion of the restatement and related audit, will depend on a number of factors, including any additional discussions with the SEC, the completion of the work underlying the restatement by the Company and the audit and review of the underlying work and restated financial statements by GPKM. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the Company's SEC filings. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
