During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and in the subsequent interim period through June 28, 2013, there were no disagreements with EFP 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 EFP, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such year.

The Company has provided a copy of the above disclosures to EFP and requested EFP to provide it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not EFP agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of EFP’s letter, dated July 18, 2013, confirming its agreement with the disclosures in this Item 4.01 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
