Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On February 1, 2023, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Bit Brother Limited (the “Company”) dismissed Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective on February 1, 2023.

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, Centurion’s audit reports on the Company’s financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and any subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, February 1, 2023, (i) there were no “disagreements” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Centurion on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to Centurion’s satisfaction, would have caused Centurion to make reference in connection with Centurion’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

We furnished a copy of the disclosures in this report to Centurion and have requested that Centurion furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether such firm agrees with the above statements or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. We have received the requested letter from Centurion, and a copy of the letter is filed with this Current Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 16.1.

 

Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On February 1, 2023, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Audit Alliance LLP (“Audit Alliance”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, effective on February 1, 2023.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through February 1, 2023, the Company has not consulted with Audit Alliance regarding (1) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, or (2) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The Company is filing this report on Form 6-K to report its unaudited financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This current report contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
