(NASDAQ: HPH) (“HPH” or the “Company”), today announced that with approval from the audit committee and the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company, it has changed its independent auditor from Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia” or the “Former Auditor”) to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP (“Deloitte” or the “Successor Auditor”) effective March 29, 2024. 

The audit reports of Marcum Asia on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 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.

None of “reportable events”, as that term is described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F, occurred within the two fiscal years of the Company ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 and subsequently up to the date of dismissal.

The Board would like to express its sincere gratitude to Marcum for its professionalism and quality of services rendered to the Company over the past years. The Company is working closely with Deloitte and Marcum to ensure a seamless transition.
