Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On July 14, 2021, the Board of Directors of Leader Capital Holdings Corp. (the "Company") concluded, after discussion with the Company's management, that the Company's consolidated financial statements for the (i) year ended August 31, 2020, (ii) interim period ended February 28, 2021, (iii) interim period ended November 30, 2020, (iv) interim period ended May 31, 2020, (v) interim period ended February 29, 2020 and (vi) interim period ended November 30, 2019 (collectively, the "Non-Reliance Periods"), should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the consolidated financial statements and should be restated.

In connection with the preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended May 31, 2021 (the "Third Quarter Form 10Q"), the Company's management became aware that the Company's consolidated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods contained errors related to the accounting treatment of unvested shares issued to its directors, employees and consultants during the Non-Reliance Periods as provided under FASB ASC Topic 718 Accounting for Stock Compensation. As a result, the Company intends to amend and restate its consolidated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods, which will decrease prepayments, deposits and other receivables and additional paid-in-capital. The exact amount of such decreases cannot be determined at this time due to the ongoing restatement process.

The consolidated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods will be restated to reflect the correction of the misstatements in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (the "restated consolidated financial statements"). The Third Quarter Form 10Q for the period ending May 31, 2021 will reflect the prior restatements.

The Company intends to, as soon as practicable, restate the consolidated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods and file amendments to (i) each of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the interim periods covered by the Non-Reliance Periods and (ii) the 2020 Form 10-K. The Company also intends to file the 2021 Form 10-K, which will contain the restated information for the year ended August 31, 2020, as soon as practicable. Accordingly, investors and others should rely on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the Non-Reliance Periods only after, and to the extent, such financial information and other disclosures reflect the Company's restated consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm, Centurion ZD CPA & Co.
