Material Changes
- Change of Auditor: The Audit Committee dismissed Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, effective November 15, 2024, and appointed Audit Alliance LLP as the new independent registered public accounting firm.
- Reason for Change: The change was driven by significant shifts in the company's business focus and scale, not due to any disagreement on accounting principles or auditing procedures.

The filing explicitly states there are no disagreements with the former auditor regarding financial statement disclosures.
