Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Following the expiration of the engagement with YCM CPA INC. (“YCM”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, on July 9, 2026, the Company dismissed YCM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On the same day, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) engaged DLEE Accountancy, Inc. (“DLEE”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, as described below.
During our most recent fiscal year and through the date of dismissal, (a) we had no disagreements with YCM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure which disagreement if not resolved to the satisfaction of YCM would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (b) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided YCM a copy of the statements made in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested YCM to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating whether or not YCM agrees with such statements.
Neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted with DLEE regarding (i) the type of final audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that DLEE concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
