CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On December 5, 2023, Xiao-I Corporation (the “Company”)
dismissed Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On December
6, 2023, the Company appointed Assentsure PAC (“Assentsure”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The decision to change accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors (“Audit Committee”) and approved by both the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022
and 2021 and in the subsequent interim period through December 5, 2023, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as described under
Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F) between the Company and Marcum Asia 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 Asia, would have caused
Marcum Asia to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such periods,
and (ii) no “reportable events” (as defined under Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F) except
that there were material weakness identified related to: (i) the Company’s lack of sufficient and competent financial reporting
and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”) and reporting
requirements set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to address complex US GAAP technical accounting
issues, and to prepare and review consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with US GAAP and the Commission
reporting requirements and (ii) the Company’s lack of internal file management procedures and effective recognition procedures to
recognize revenue and costs timely.
Marcum Asia’s audit report on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Company provided Marcum Asia with a copy of
this Form 6-K prior to its submission to the Commission and requested that Marcum Asia furnish the Company with a letter addressed to
the Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Marcum Asia’s letter, dated December 8, 2023,
is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.
During each of the fiscal years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021 and in the subsequent interim period through December 5, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company
has consulted with Assentsure regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific 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 Assentsure concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a
decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, (ii) any matter that was the subject of disagreement, or (iii)
any reportable events.
