(a) |
Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. |
On January 27, 2023, Amesite Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed
Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company approved
the dismissal of Deloitte.
The reports of Deloitte on the Company’s financial statements
for each of fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except that Deloitte’s audit report dated September 28, 2022
related to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022 contained an explanatory paragraph as to the uncertainty
of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent
interim period through September 30, 2022, there were no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K
and related instructions) between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure
or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit reports. The Company disclosed in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2022 that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022 due to material weaknesses
in internal control over financial reporting. The Company had material weaknesses related to three components of the COSO framework –
risk assessment, control activities and monitoring activities. This disclosure was determined to be a reportable event (as that term is
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).
The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of this Current Report on
Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Deloitte furnish a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements in Item 4.01(a). A copy of Deloitte’s letter,
dated February 2, 2023 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) | New Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm. |
On January 27, 2023, the Company appointed Turner, Stone & Company,
L.L.P. (“Turner Stone”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of January 27,
2023. The Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the appointment of Turner Stone.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and the period from October
1, 2022 through January 27, 2023, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Turner Stone regarding (i) the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be
rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and Turner Stone did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company
that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue,
or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions)
or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
