CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 6-K and other reports filed by Zhong Yuan Bio-Technology Holdings Limited (the “Company”) from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management. When used in the Filings the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

CHANGE OF CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

 

Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On June 4, 2024, the Company accepted the resignation of Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion ZD”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The report of Centurion ZD on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified. The decision to accept the resignation of the independent accountant was approved and ratified by our Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) on June 4, 2024.

 

During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and through the date of this report, we have had no disagreements with Centurion ZD 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 Centurion ZD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such period.

 

During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and through the date of this report, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

We provided Centurion ZD with a copy of this disclosure before the filing was made with the SEC. We requested that Centurion ZD provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and we received a letter from Centurion ZD stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated as of June 14, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Company has engaged TAAD, LLP (“TAAD”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of our engagement, we did not consult with TAAD 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 our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). In approving the selection of TAAD as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, our Board of Directors considered all relevant factors, including the fact that TAAD is located in the United States and is not located in China or Hong Kong.
