Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On December 5, 2023, Cryomass Technologies Inc (‘Company”) received formal notice that the Company’s independent auditors, Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (“MGO”) had made the decision to resign as Company’s independent accountants effective December 5, 2023. On December 6, 2023, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to accept the resignation.

 

MGO served as the Company’s auditor since April 3, 2023, without ever reporting on the financial statements of the Company

 

Since MGO’s appointment on April 3, 2023, and though the date of resignation, December 5, 2023, there have been no disagreements with MGO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MGO, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.

 

During the entire period of time MGO acted as independent auditors for the Company there have been no reportable events, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company’s financial statements for the quarters ending June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. The reports included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have provided MGO a copy of the disclosure made in response to this Item 4.01 and have requested that MGO provide a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission confirming their agreement with the disclosure contained herein.
