Bowen Acquisition adds UHY letter on auditor change

UHY's audit reports for fiscal 2023 and 2024 included substantial-doubt paragraphs, with opinions unmodified on that matter.

Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bowen Acquisition Corp (BOWN) said its board determined to dismiss UHY LLP as independent registered public accounting firm, and the company notified UHY on September 9, 2026. The Audit Committee had approved INBERGO CPA LLP’s engagement on August 31, 2026. Bowen added UHY’s September 30, 2026 letter to its auditor-change disclosure.

UHY’s audit reports for 2023 and 2024 included explanatory paragraphs about substantial doubt regarding Bowen’s ability to continue as a going concern; the opinions were not modified on that matter. Bowen reported no disagreements with UHY for fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, and the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2026. The only reportable event in that period was the previously disclosed material weakness related to the lack of a qualified SEC reporting professional.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

going concern financial
"substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern"
Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.
material weakness financial
"the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting"
A material weakness is a significant flaw in the systems and checks a company uses to ensure its financial reports are accurate, meaning errors or fraud could happen and not be caught. For investors it matters because it raises the risk that reported results are unreliable—similar to finding a hole in a ship’s hull—potentially leading to corrected financials, regulatory action, reduced trust, and negative effects on stock value and borrowing costs.
internal control over financial reporting financial
"the Company’s internal control over financial reporting"
Internal control over financial reporting is a company’s system of procedures and checks designed to make sure its financial statements are accurate and complete, like a set of guardrails and verification steps that catch mistakes or fraud before numbers are published. Investors care because strong controls make reported results more trustworthy, lower the risk of surprise restatements or regulatory problems, and give greater confidence when valuing the company or comparing it to peers.
reportable events regulatory
"there were no reportable events"
Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.

Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Bowen Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) amends Item 4.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 22, 2026 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K was filed before the Company obtained the letter from UHY LLP (“UHY”) addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not UHY agrees with the statements made in the Original Form 8-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The Company subsequently obtained UHY’s letter. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 is being filed to update the disclosure to reference such letter and to file it as an exhibit with the Current Report on Form 8-K. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

 

 

 

 

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On September 9, 2026, Bowen Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) notified UHY LLP (“UHY”) that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) had determined to dismiss UHY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On August 31, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) had previously approved the engagement of INBERGO CPA LLP (“INBERGO”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

UHY has not issued an audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. UHY’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. UHY’s reports included explanatory paragraphs regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; UHY’s opinions were not modified with respect to that matter.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim period through September 9, 2026, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) between the Company and UHY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to UHY’s satisfaction, would have caused UHY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements. During the same period, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except for the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s lack of a qualified SEC reporting professional that was previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim period through August 31, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted INBERGO regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that INBERGO 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).

 

The Company has provided UHY with a copy of the disclosures in this Item 4.01 and has requested that UHY furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not UHY agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of UHY’s letter, dated September 30, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
