On May 1, 2018, Leo Motors, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by L&L CPAs, PA (“L&L”) of its resignation, effective May 1, 2018, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. L&L served as the auditors of the Company’s financial statements for the period from July 25, 2017 through the effective date of resignation.
L&L did not provide any reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
During the period from July 25, 2017, the date of L&L’s appointment, through the effective date of L&L's resignation, there were no disagreements with L&L 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 L&L, would have caused L&L to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K in connection with any reports it would have issued, and there were no “reportable events” as such term is described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided L&L with a copy of the foregoing disclosure, and requested that L&L furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. A copy of the letter from L&L addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated as of May 3, 2018 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K
