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

On July 14, 2011, Puda Coal, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a current report on Form 8-K (“Original Filing”) in connection with the receipt of a resignation and non-reliance letter from Moore Stephens, its former independent registered public accounting firm, dated July 7, 2011 (the “Moore Stephens Letter”). In the Moore Stephens Letter, Moore Stephens informed the Audit Committee that the management representation letters provided to Moore Stephens by the Company in connection with the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 and 2010 included representations that were materially inconsistent with the transfers of subsidiary ownership by the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Ming Zhao, which are currently subject to the investigation by the Audit Committee, and therefore, the management representation letters can no longer be relied on by Moore Stephens. The Moore Stephens Letter was filed as Exhibit 7.1 to the Original Filing in redacted form and a confidential treatment was requested for certain portions thereof. Such confidential treatment was not granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Therefore, the Company hereby amends the Original Filing by providing a complete copy of the Moore Stephens Letter as Exhibit 7.1. The investigation into the alleged transfers referenced in the Moore Stephens Letter is ongoing and no final conclusion has been reached yet.

The Company requested Moore Stephens to furnish to the Company as promptly as possible a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether Moore Stephens agrees with the statements made by the Company in the Original Filing, as amended by this report and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The Company received such letter from Moore Stephens on August 18, 2011. The Company hereby amends the Original Report by filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A with such letter as Exhibit 16.1.
