<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><i>&nbsp;</i></p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt;">The Audit Committee (the &quot;Audit Committee&quot;) of the Board of Directors of Kona Grill, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) recently conducted a competitive process to determine the Company&#39;s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee invited several accounting firms to participate in this process, including Ernst &amp; Young LLP (&ldquo;EY&rdquo;), the Company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm since 2001. As a result of this process and following careful deliberation, on June 12, 2018, the Company dismissed EY as the Company&#39;s independent registered public accounting firm.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18pt;">The reports of EY on the Company&#39;s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18pt;">During the Company&#39;s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding EY&#39;s dismissal, there were no disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to EY&#39;s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such years; and, no reportable events (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:18pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt;">The Company provided EY with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested from EY a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of EY&#39;s letter dated June 15, 2018 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt;">On June 15, 2018, the Audit Committee selected BDO USA, LLP (&ldquo;BDO&rdquo;) as the Company&#39;s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, subject to completion of its standard client acceptance procedures.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 18pt;">&nbsp;</p>

Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Accountant
The Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Kona Grill, Inc. (the "Company") recently conducted a competitive process to determine the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee invited several accounting firms to participate in this process, including Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since 2001. As a result of this process and following careful deliberation, on June 12, 2018, the Company dismissed EY as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of EY on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding EY's dismissal, there were no disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to EY's satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such years; and, no reportable events (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided EY with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested from EY a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of EY's letter dated June 15, 2018 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Engagement of Independent Accountant
On June 15, 2018, the Audit Committee selected BDO USA, LLP ("BDO") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, subject to completion of its standard client acceptance procedures.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding BDO's selection, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with BDO with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
