Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On January 4, 2017, House of BODS Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Scrudato & Co., PA (“Scrudato”) from its position as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of that date. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the dismissal. Scrudato was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Scrudato’s dismissal was prompted by the revocation of its registration with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The revocation of Scrudato’s registration was part of a sanction handed down by the PCAOB based upon findings that Scrudato violated PCAOB rules and standards in connection with the audits of five issuer clients, which five issuer clients did not include the Company.
Scrudato’s report on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was the report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such report contained an explanatory paragraph which raised substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding such resignation, during which time Scrudato served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, (i) there were no disagreements with Scrudato 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 Johnson, would have caused Scrudato to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with Scrudato’s audit report, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulations S-K, the Company has provided Scrudato with a copy of the disclosures contained herein prior to its filing with the Commission, and requested that Scrudato furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether Scrudato agrees with the statements made herein, and if not, stating the aspects with which Scrudato does not agree. A copy of Scrudato’s letter to the Commission is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
