On October 12, 2016, Peterson Sullivan LLP (“Peterson”) resigned as One Horizon Group, Inc.’s (the “Company”) independent registered public accounting firm. The report of Peterson on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no disagreements between the Company and Peterson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. No reportable event, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, has occurred from the resignation of Peterson.
(2) New Independent Public Accounting Firm
On October 12, 2016, the Company entered into an engagement with Cherry Bekaert LLP (“Cherry”) to retain Cherry as the Company’s independent public accounting firm. On October 12, 2016, the audit committee of the Company approved and ratified the engagement of Cherry as its new independent registered public accounting firm.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, and during the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company did not consult with Cherry regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Cherry, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Cherry would be an important factor considered by the Company 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).
