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:

(1)

the Company has not been able to file its 2016 or 2017 10-K reports or its subsequent 10-Q reports by the regulatory deadline since the Company has been unable to receive financial statements from its privately held portfolio companies in a timely manner.

(2)

the Company lacks the internal accounting expertise to properly account for certain transactions.

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

The Company provided OUM with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and has requested that OUM furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not OUM agrees with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to OUM and, if not, stating the items with which they do not agree. OUM will provide the requested letter to the Company within five days and once received, the Company will file an amended 8-K and include the letter as an Exhibit.

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.
