Changes of the Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant
Sunrise New Energy Co., Ltd.
(the “Company”) was notified by Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), the Company’s then 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. Friedman continued to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm through December
16, 2022. On December 16, 2022, the Company approved the dismissal of Friedman LLP and 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 are now provided
by Marcum Asia.
Friedman’s reports on
the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain any adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, scope of accounting principles. During the Company’s
two most recent fiscal years and through December 16, 2022, there were no disagreements with Friedman on any matters of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Friedman,
would have caused Friedman to make reference to such matters in their reports. There were no reportable events (as that term is described
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, or in the subsequent period through
December 16, 2022, except 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 May 2, 2022.
The Company provided Friedman
with a copy of the forgoing disclosure and requested Friedman to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether or not Friedman agrees with the above statements. A copy of Friedman’s letter, dated December 23, 2022,
is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.
During the two most recent
fiscal years and in the subsequent period through December 16, 2022, the Company has not consulted with Marcum Asia with respect to the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would
have been rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii)
of Regulation S-K.
