CHANGES IN REGISTRANTS’ CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

(a) Dismissal of Certifying Accountant

 

Effective February 17, 2025, Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) dismissed its independent auditors, ARK PRO CPA & Co. (“ARK”), which action was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 17, 2025.

 

ARK was engaged by the Company on July 27, 2023 and rendered a report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and through the date of this report, ARK has neither provided any adverse opinion or qualifications on our financial statements nor had a disagreement with the Company since their engagement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements that, if not resolved to ARK’s satisfaction, would have caused ARK to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements.

 

None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K occurred within period of the engagement of ARK up to the date of dismissal.

 

ARK has provided a letter to us, dated February 17, 2025 and addressed to the SEC, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b) Engagement of New Certifying Accountant

 

On February 17, 2025, we engaged AssentSure PAC (“AssentSure”) as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent period through the date of this report, we have not consulted with AssentSure with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the our consolidated financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
