(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On October 31, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of October 31, 2019.

The reports of Marcum on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years, ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the audit report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for these years contained an explanatory paragraph disclosing uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two most recent fiscal years, ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, and through October 31, 2019, (i) there were no disagreements, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, with Marcum 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, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements herein. A copy of such letter, which is dated October 31, 2019, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On October 31, 2019, the Board approved the engagement of Turner, Stone & Company LLP (“TSC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, effective immediately.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, and through October 31, 2019, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with TSC regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified 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 TSC concluded 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,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
