Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
Based on information provided by Friedman LLP ("Friedman"), the independent
registered public accounting firm of Goldenbridge Acquisition Limited (the
"Company"), effective September 1, 2022, Friedman combined with Marcum LLP
("Marcum") and continued to operate as an independent registered public
accounting firm. Friedman continued to serve as the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm through October 7, 2022. On October 7, 2022,
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Friedman
and engaged Marcum to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm
of the Company for the year ending June 30, 2023, effective immediately. The
services previously provided by Friedman will now be provided by Marcum.
Friedman's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion and were 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 year ended June 30,
2022 contained an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the
subsequent interim period through October 7, 2022, there were no disagreements
with Friedman 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 Friedman, would have caused Friedman to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years. Also
during this time, there were no "reportable events," as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Friedman with a copy of the above disclosures and requested
that Friedman furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made
above. A copy of Friedman's letter dated October 11, 2022 is attached as Exhibit
16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On October 7, 2022, the Company engaged Marcum as the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023,
effective immediately. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and
through October 7, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf 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.
