The auditor change from LAO Professionals to Privatco CPA Limited, combined with a pre-existing going-concern opinion, raises serious questions about SEII's financial reporting reliability and ability to raise capital. Traders should watch for subsequent 10-Q filings that may reveal additional deterioration, potential late filing notices (NT 10-Q/K), or a future delisting notice. Avoid long positions until the company demonstrates stable operations and clean audit opinions.

Executive Summary
Sharing Economy International Inc. (SEII) dismissed its auditor, LAO Professionals, and engaged Privatco CPA Limited as the new independent registered public accounting firm on May 28, 2026. While no disagreements or reportable events occurred during LAO Professionals' tenure, their reports on 2024 and 2025 financial statements included a going-concern qualification, signaling substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue operating. Auditor changes at a micro-cap with a going-concern opinion are a material red flag.
Key Facts
- LAO Professionals dismissed on May 28, 2026; Privatco CPA Limited engaged as new auditor.
- No disagreements or reportable events with former auditor per Item 304(a)(1)(v).
- Former auditor's reports for FY2024 and FY2025 contained a going-concern qualification (substantial doubt about viability).
- Company is a micro-cap OTC-traded entity (SEII) with no current revenue disclosed in this filing.
- Auditor change at a distressed micro-cap often precedes further financial deterioration or delisting.
Financial Impact
Going-concern qualification already in place; auditor change does not change stated financials but increases financing/operational risk. No dollar amounts provided in the filing.
Risk Factors
- Going-concern qualification suggests high risk of bankruptcy or dissolution.
- New auditor (Privatco CPA Limited) is a smaller firm, potentially signaling difficulty retaining a Big 4 or larger auditor.
- Micro-cap OTC stock with minimal liquidity; large bid-ask spreads and price manipulation risk.
- Potential future late filings or SEC delinquency if new auditor struggles with transition.
