Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
| (a) | Dismissal of Marcum LLP |
On August 3, 2018, U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company”) dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The dismissal of Marcum was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and its Audit Committee on August 3, 2018.
The report of Marcum on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s prior two fiscal years and during the subsequent interim period through August 3, 2018, there were no disagreements as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K with Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. Further, during the two prior fiscal years and during the subsequent interim period through August 3, 2018, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, we provided Marcum with a copy of this Report prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC, stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K as the same pertain to Marcum and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree. A copy of Marcum’s letter confirming its agreement with the disclosures in this Item 4.01 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
| (b) | Engagement of KBL LLP |
On August 3, 2018, the Company engaged KBL, LLP (“KBL”), an independent registered public accounting firm which is registered with, and governed by the rules of, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period through August 3, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted KBL regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction regarding the Company, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (2) any matter regarding us that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
