Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant ’ s Certifying Accountant.

 

On December 11, 2017, L&L CPAs, PA (“L&L”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.  The resignation was accepted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, there were no (1) disagreements with L&L on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have caused L&L to make reference in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) “reportable events,” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The audit reports of L&L on the financial statements of the Co mpany, during the periods for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the reports stated there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has requested that L&L furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of such letter, dated December 18, 2017, indicating that it is in agreement with such disclosures is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

On December 15, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to engage the independent registered public accounting firm of M&K CPAS, PLLC ("M&K"), the Company's new independent registered public accountants, which appointment M&K has accepted.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of M&K, the Company has not consulted with M&K regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by M&K or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of disagreement between the Company and its former auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv), or a reportable event as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v), of Regulation S-K.
