Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was notified by Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that effective September 1, 2022, Friedman combined with Marcum LLP and continued to operate as an independent registered public accounting firm. On February 16, 2023, the Company engaged Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The services previously provided by Friedman will now be provided by Marcum Asia.
Friedman’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 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. Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through February 16, 2023, there have been no disagreements with Friedman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Friedman’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedman to make reference to the subject matter of any such disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and through February 16, 2023, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the Form 20-F, other than the material weaknesses reported by the management in Item 15 of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2022.
The Company provided Friedman with a copy of the above disclosure and requested that Friedman furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Friedman’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through February 16, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf consulted Marcum Asia with respect to any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 16F(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of the Form 20-F.
