Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On October 28, 2019, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the board of directors of U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company”) dismissed KBL, LLP (“KBL”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of October 28, 2019.

 

KBL’s report on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 contained an explanatory paragraph disclosing the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

For the Company’s fiscal year April 30, 2019, from August 3, 2018 through the subsequent interim period as of October 28, 2019, (i) there were no disagreements with KBL 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 KBL, would have caused KBL to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided KBL a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that KBL furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements herein. A copy of such letter, which is dated October 28, 2019, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On October 28, 2019, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s previous independent registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for its current financial year ending April 30, 2020, effective October 28, 2019. Marcum previously served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm until the Company’s dismissal of Marcum on August 3, 2018 and provided reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Following Marcum’s dismissal on August 3, 2018 through the subsequent period as of October 28, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Marcum regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Marcum concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any 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, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
