SECTION 4 – MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Item 4.01 Changes om Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On August 1, 2024, Bio Essence Corp., a California corporation (the “Company”) dismissed its prior independent accountant, Keith K. Zhen, CPA. The prior financial statements for the past two years do not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change auditors and dismiss Keith K. Zhen, CPA, was reviewed and recommended by the Board of Directors, but not formally approved. During the last two fiscal years, the Company did not have any disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing score or procedure. No further disclosures are required under Section 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. A copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K has been furnished to Keith K. Zhen, CPA, and the Company has requested that Keith K. Zhen, CPA provide a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) providing the information required by Section 304(c) of Regulation S-K, and upon receipt of the same, the Company shall it with the Commission.

 

Also on August 1, 2024, the Company retained Simon & Edward, LLP (“S&E”) to serve as the Company’s principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements. S&E will begin working with the Company immediately, finalizing the second quarter financials for the 2024 fiscal year.
