Ms. Yefang Zhang, Chief Executive
Officer of the Registrant, stated, “We would like to thank Mr. Liang for his service. He has been an effective and influential member
of the Registrant’s Board. We wish her well in her future endeavors.”
On June 3, 2021, the Registrant’s

Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On June 4, 2021, the Registrant’s
Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved the appointment of YCM CPA Inc. for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 and the
dismissal of Friedman LLP, both effective upon the completion of Friedman LLP’s review of the Registrant’s interim consolidated
financial results as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2021 to be included in the filing of the related Form 6-K.
During the Registrant’s
most recent two fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 through June 3, 2021, there were no disagreements between the Registrant
and Friedman LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Friedman LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreements in connection with its report on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for such periods. In addition,
Friedman LLP’s reports on the financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During
the Registrant’s years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 through June 3, 2021, there were no “reportable events” as
that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
During the two most recent
fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging YCM CPA Inc., neither the Registrant
nor anyone on its behalf consulted YCM CPA Inc. regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to any proposed or completed
transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, and neither a written
report nor oral advice was provided to the Registrant that YCM CPA Inc. concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant
in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of
a disagreement (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F) or a reportable event.
The Registrant has requested that Friedman LLP furnish
a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Friedman
LLP’s letter, is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K.
