Changes in Company's Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Previous independent registered public accounting firm:

 

On November 13, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the dismissal of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective November 13, 2020.

 

BDO's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, and the subsequent interim period through November 13, 2020, the date of BDO’s dismissal, (i) there were no “disagreements” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference in connection with BDO’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. 

 

We furnished a copy of the disclosures in this report to BDO and have requested that BDO furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether such firm agrees with the above statements or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. We have received the requested letter from BDO, and a copy of the letter is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.

 

(b) New independent registered public accounting firm:

 

On November 13, 2020, the Board approved the appointment of WWC Corporation (“WWC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, effective November 16, 2020.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2019, and the subsequent interim period through November 17, 2020, the Company has not consulted with WWC regarding any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
