Q&K International Group Limited (NASDAQ: QK) (“Q&K” or the “Company”) has appointed Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“MarcumBP”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of MarcumBP has been approved by both the audit committee and the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company. MarcumBP replaces Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP (“Deloitte”), the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of Deloitte on the consolidated financial statements of Q&K as of and for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change auditors was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 and through the subsequent interim period on or prior to December 3, 2020, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with MarcumBP on either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company by MarcumBP which MarcumBP concluded as an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F (and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event as set forth in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

The Company is working closely with Deloitte and MarcumBP to ensure a seamless transition.

The Board would like to express its sincere gratitude to Deloitte for its professionalism and quality of services rendered to the Company over the past years.
