Item 4.01. Changes

in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On June 5, 2019, Sharing Economy International, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) confirming that RBSM will no longer serve as the Company’s auditor. On June 10, 2019, the Company engaged Malone Bailey LLP (“MB”) to serve as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to appoint MB was unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The change was not made due to any disagreements with RBSM. RBSM’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except as discussed in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements on Form 10-K, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt exists about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 and the subsequent interim period through June 5, 2019, there were no (i) disagreements between the Company and RBSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of RBSM would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, or (ii) reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except as set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K.

During each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the subsequent period prior to the Company’s engagement of MB, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted MB regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that MB concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
