Changes
in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On
January 12, 2021, the Board of Directors of HotApp Blockchain Inc.
(the “Company”) dismissed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman,
P.A. as its independent registered accountant. 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, except that the
audit reports included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the
uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. 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 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).
