Northann Corp. 8K

Northann Corp.’s former auditor resigned and notified the SEC that the company improperly used its name and an audit opinion in the 2025 Form 10-K despite the auditor’s inability to obtain sufficient evidence to complete the audit or consent to the filing.

Northann Corp.’s former auditor, LAO Professionals, informed the SEC that it resigned as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm on June 8, 2026 due to Northann’s unauthorized use of the firm’s name and an audit opinion in the company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2025, filed April 14, 2026. LAO Professionals states it did not prepare the opinion included in that filing and did not consent to the inclusion of its name, and disputes Northann’s Form 8-K characterization that the auditor had not identified specific incorrect items in the 2025 financial statements, explaining instead that it withheld consent because it lacked sufficient appropriate audit evidence. The firm describes repeated but unsuccessful efforts to obtain necessary documents, alleging the company frustrated audit procedures by sending persistently inaccessible links rather than usable document attachments, which prevented completion of required audit work and thus issuance of an audit opinion or consent to the filing. The letter emphasizes the auditor’s fiduciary duty to investors and the public and copies Northann Corp. and the PCAOB.
