Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On May 7, 2024, Reborn Coffee, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss BF Borgers as independent registered public accounting firm was made with the recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

BF Borgers’ audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles other than an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there were no disagreements, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, between the Company and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to BF Borgers’ satisfaction, would have caused BF Borgers to make reference to such disagreements in its audit reports.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this report, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has advised that, in lieu of obtaining a letter from BF Borgers stating whether or not it agrees with the statements herein, the Company may indicate that BF Borgers is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the SEC for reasons described in the SEC’s Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 4C and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 102(e) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order, dated May 3, 2024.

The Company is currently seeking a new independent registered public accounting firm. Once a firm is appointed, the Company will file a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K to announce such appointment.
