Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“MBP”), Fincera Inc.’s (the “Company”) prior independent registered public accounting firm, had previously issued unqualified audit opinions on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and determined that the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2018.
 
On December 31, 2019, the Company received a letter (included as exhibit to this Form 6-K) from MBP indicating that these audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 with respect to the audits of the financial statements and the ICFR, as included in the Company’s Forms 20-F filed on April 30, 2018 and May 1, 2019, and Form 20-F/A filed on May 30, 2019, should no longer be relied upon.
 
In October 2019, MBP had determined that certain auditing procedures were omitted in connection with the audits of the financial statements and the ICFR. Since November 11, 2019, MBP had been planning and performing these omitted procedures. Due to the previously announced investigation by the Shijiazhuang Municipal Public Security Bureau that commenced on December 13, 2019, to date MBP has been unable to complete certain additional procedures pursuant to the relevant auditing standards since the investigation has prevented access to the Company’s files and records. The Company is trying to contact the Shijiazhuang Municipal Public Security Bureau regarding this matter and does not yet know if and when access to its files and records will be restored.
 
As a result, MBP has decided it would be most prudent to withdraw its audit opinions for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 until at least which time as those additional procedures can be performed. The Audit Committee of the Company has discussed these matters with MBP.
