This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of VII Peaks Co-Optivist Income BDC II, Inc., filed with the Commission on November 30, 2018, is being filed to reflect the fact that the Company has received from its former accountant the letter required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, and that such letter is filed herein as an exhibit.

Section 4.01. Changes in Registrants’ Certifying Accountant.

On November 26, 2018, OUM & Co. LLP (“OUM”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of VII Peaks Co-Optivist Income BDC II, Inc. (the “Company”), and the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company accepted the resignation of OUM effective as of that date.

The audit reports of OUM on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and OUM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of OUM, would have caused OUM to make reference thereto in its report on the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and (ii) there have been no “reportable events” as such term as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except for the following:

OUM advised the Company that the following material weaknesses existed:

OUM has discussed the aforementioned reportable events with the Board of Directors of the Company

The Company has provided OUM with a copy of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2018, and has requested that OUM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether OUM agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. OUM provided this letter on December 3, 2018, and it is filed herein as Exhibit 16.1.

The Company has authorized OUM to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant concerning the subject matter of each of such reportable events.

The Company is currently in the process of engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm.
