Item 4.01 – Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
1) Previous Independent Auditors:
a.
On July 1, 2015, the registrant dismissed DKM Certified Public Accountant (“DKM”) as their registered independent public accountant. On July 1, 2015, the registrant engaged Stevenson & Company CPAS LLC (“Stevenson”) as its new registered independent public accountant.
b.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, DKM’s report did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about the registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.
c.
The decision to dismiss DKM and to engage Stevenson was approved by the registrant’s board of directors.
d.
Through the period covered by the financial audit for the year ended December 31, 2014 there have been no disagreements with DKM 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 DKM would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. For the interim period through July 1, 2015 (the date of dismissal), there have been no disagreements with DKM 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 DKM would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.
e.
We have authorized DKM to respond fully to any inquiries of Stevenson.
f.
During the year ended December 31, 2014 and the interim period through July 1, 2015, there have been no reportable events between the registrant and DKM as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
g.
The registrant provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to DKM prior to the date of the filing of this report and requested that DKM furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this report. A copy of this letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
2) New Independent Accountants:
a.
On July 1, 2015, the registrant engaged Stevenson & Company CPAS LLC, as its new registered independent public accountant. During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and prior to July 1, 2015 (the date of the new engagement), we did not consult with Stevenson regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements by Stevenson, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Stevenson would be an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
