SharonAI Holdings Inc. Changes Auditor to Ernst & Young

What Happened
SharonAI Holdings Inc. (SHAZ) announced in an 8-K that on September 20, 2026 it informed HoganTaylor LLP that HoganTaylor would no longer serve as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On September 23, 2026 the Audit Committee approved engaging Ernst & Young LLP (EY) as the company’s new independent auditor to perform the fiscal 2026 audit and upcoming 10-Q and 10-K filings.

Key Details

• Audit firm change approved by the Audit Committee on September 23, 2026; HoganTaylor was notified of dismissal on September 20, 2026.
• HoganTaylor’s audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 contained no adverse opinions, disclaimers, or qualifications.
• From January 6, 2026 through HoganTaylor’s dismissal, there were no disagreements or reportable events with HoganTaylor, except the material weakness disclosed in the company’s Form 10-K filed March 31, 2026.
• HoganTaylor provided a letter dated September 23, 2026 (filed as Exhibit 16.1) responding to the statements in the 8-K. The company confirmed it did not consult EY on accounting/audit matters during fiscal years 2025 or 2024.

Why It Matters
A change in independent auditor is material because the new firm (EY) will perform upcoming quarterly and annual audits that investors rely on for financial accuracy. The filing notes there were no unresolved disagreements with HoganTaylor and that prior audit reports were unqualified, but it also references a previously disclosed material weakness. Investors should note the auditor transition and monitor future 10-Q/10-K filings for any changes in audit findings or disclosures related to the material weakness.
