On October 21, 2013, the registrant was notified by Hamilton, P.C. (“Hamilton”) that it was resigning as the registrant’s independent public accountants. Hamilton had audited the registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
The reports of Hamilton on the registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended July 31, 2011 and 2012, and through the subsequent interim period ending October 21, 2013, there were no disagreements with Hamilton 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 Hamilton, would have caused Hamilton to make reference thereto in its report on the registrant’s financial statements for such years. Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring within the registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period ending October 21, 2013.
The registrant has provided Hamilton with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested Hamilton to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. The letter is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
The Audit Committee of the registrant’s board of directors has been informed of this event and efforts are underway to identify an appropriate support firm for these services.
