The report of TPS Thayer on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

(iii)

The decision to change the independent registered public accounting firm was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company.

 

(iv)

During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and through July 10, 2023, the date of dismissal, (a) there were no disagreements with TPS Thayer on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of TPS Thayer, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the financial statements for such years and (b) there were no “reportable events” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
