Changes
in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On
January 12, 2021, the Board of Directors of HF Enterprises Inc.
(the “Company”) dismissed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman,
P.A. as its independent registered accountant at the recommendation
of the Audit Committee. Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A.’s
audit reports on the Company’s financial statements 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and December
31, 2019 and during the subsequent interim period preceding the
date of dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements with Rosenberg
Rich Baker Berman, P.A. on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, and (ii) no reportable events (as that term is defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The
Company has requested Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. to furnish
it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made above
by the Company. The Company has filed this letter as an exhibit to
this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On
January 12, 2021, the Company engaged Briggs & Veselka Co. as
its independent registered public accounting firm for the
Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The decision
to engage Briggs & Veselka Co. was recommended by the
Company’s Audit Committee and approved by the Company’s
Board of Directors.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date,
the Company has not consulted with Briggs & Veselka Co.
regarding either:
1.
The application of
accounting principles to any specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a
written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was
provided that Briggs & Veselka Co. concluded was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2.
Any matter that was
either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph
(a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in
paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
