Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On December 1, 2015, MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Breitling Energy Corporation (the “Company”). MaloneBailey had been engaged by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on June 30, 2014.
The only financial statements that the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) since MaloneBailey’s engagement on June 30, 2014, were the Company’s interim financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the two most recent fiscal years and for subsequent interim periods through December 1, 2015, there have been no disagreements between the Company and MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the financial statements of the Company for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 and through December 1, 2015, there have been no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has requested MaloneBailey to furnish it a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from MaloneBailey, dated December 4, 2015, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
