ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
| |
(a) | Withdrawal of Independent Certifying Accountant |
Effective November 29, 2017, Dave Banerjee, CPA (“Banerjee”) will no longer act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of Banerjee regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of Banerjee on the Company’s financial statements for fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, and during the period from January 1, 2016 to November 29, 2017, the date of withdrawal, (i) there were no disagreements with Banerjee on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Banerjee would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Banerjee with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Banerjee furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed asExhibit 16.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

During each of the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through the interim periods preceding the engagement of F&G, the Company (a) has not engaged F&G as either the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of the Company and on whom the principal accountant is expected to express reliance in its report; and (b) has not consulted with F&G regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by F&G concluding there was an important factor to be considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
