  (i) On July 8, 2013, Consumer Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) formally informed Anton & Chia, LLP (“Anton”) and Anton confirmed their acknowledgement of their dismissal as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
     
  (ii) The reports of Anton on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the year ended December 31, 2011, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
     
  (iii) The Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent registered public accounting firms.
     
  (iv) During the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 and through July 8, 2013 there have been no disagreements with Anton 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 Anton would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their report on the financial statements for such years.
