(a) Former independent accountants.
(i) OnDecember 7, 2020 ,Century Cobalt ("Registrant") notified MichaelGillespie & Associates PLLC (MGA) Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm, that it was being replaced. (ii) The report of MGA on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant as of and for the year endedNovember 30, 2018 and 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. (iii) The decision to discontinue the audit services of MGA was approved by our Board of Directors. (iv) During the fiscal years ended year endedNovember 30, 2018 and 2017 and throughDecember 7, 2020 , there has been no disagreement with MGA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MGA, would have caused MGA to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report. There have been no reportable events as provided in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K up to and including the dismissal of MGA except for the material weakness in its system of internal controls over financial reporting which MGA advised the Company existed. The controls designed were adequate for financial disclosures required for the preparation of the Company Form 10-Q and 10-K filings; however due to lack of resources in the Company's accounting department the controls were not operating effectively. The Company's board of directors discussed this issue with MGA. MGA has been fully authorized by the Company to answer all inquiries of MGA concerning the controls that were not operating effectively. There are no limitations placed on MGA or MGA concerning the inquiry of any matter related to the Company's financial reporting. (v) There were communication difficulties between the Company and MGA which resulted in MGA resigning. (vi) We have provided MGA with a copy of this disclosure and have requested that MGA furnish us with a letter addressed to theSEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from MGA, datedFebruary 9, 2021 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) New independent accountants.

The appointment was approved by our Board of Directors.

In addition, the Company did not consult with Fruci regarding the material weakness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting prior to engaging Fruci.
