Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants

 

On November 30, 2018, LightInTheBox Holding Co., Ltd.. (the “Company”) terminated its relationship with its principal independent accountant, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP (“Deloitte”), effective immediately. The termination of Deloitte as the Company’s principal independent accountant was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and from January 1, 2018 through the date of termination (the “Interim Period”), there were no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.  Deloitte did not advise the Company that the internal controls necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial statements did not exist, that information had come to its attention that led it to no longer be able to rely on management’s representations or that made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management, that it needed to expand significantly the scope of its audit or that information had come to its attention that if further investigated may materially impact the fairness of the financial statements or cause it to be unwilling to rely on management’s representations or be associated with the Company’s financial statements.

 

The audit report of Deloitte on the financial statements of the Company for the past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such audit report was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The Company has provided Deloitte with a copy of this Form 6-K.

 

On November 30, 2018, the Company engaged KPMG Huazhen LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as its new principal independent accountant in connection with the audit of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.  KPMG was selected by the Audit Committee and the decision to engage KPMG as the Company’s principal independent accountants was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 29, 2018.

 

During its fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and in the Interim Period prior to dismissal of Deloitte, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries consulted with KPMG concerning (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and no written or oral advice was provided by KPMG that 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 or reportable event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The information in this Report, including the exhibits, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. It shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
