Changes
in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Asia
Equity Exchange Group, Inc., a Nevada Company (the "Company" or "AEEX") decided to change its independent
registered public accounting firm for the annual report of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and the remainder of the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2018. On February 8, 2018, the Board of Director of the Company (the “Board”) approved
the appointment of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and ending December 31, 2017 and the dismissal of Beijing
Yongtuo CPAs (Special general partner) Shenzhen Branch (“Yongtuo”) from that role, each effective as of February
8, 2018.
(a)
|
Dismissal
of independent registered public accounting firm
|
The
Board approved the dismissal of Yongtuo as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of February
8, 2018.
Yongtuo’s
audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,
as amended on November 17, 2017 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.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the subsequent interim period through February 8, 2018, there were
(i) no "disagreements" (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions)
between the Company and Yongtuo on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Yongtuo’s satisfaction, would have caused Yongtuo to make reference thereto
in their reports, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The
Company provided Yongtuo with a copy of the disclosures made within this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Yongtuo
furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures. A
copy of Yongtuo letter dated February 12, 2018 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
(b)
|
Appointment
of new independent registered public accounting firm
|
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the subsequent interim period through February 8, 2018, neither
the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Friedman regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Friedman,
in either case where written or oral advice provided by Friedman would be an important factor considered by the Company in
reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject
of a disagreement between us and our former auditor, Yongtuo or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
