ITEM 4.01 

CHANGE IN COMPANY’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT


On September 12, 2011, Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC (“SG&A”) was engaged as the registered independent public accountant for Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and M&K CPAS, PLLC (“M&K”) was dismissed as the registered independent public accountant for the Company.  The decisions to appoint SG&A and dismiss M&K were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 12, 2011.


Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for us to continue as a going concern which was included in our accountant’s report on the financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, M&K’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. For the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through M&K's termination on September 12, 2011, M&K disclosed the uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in its accountant’s report on the financial statements.


In connection with the audit and review of the financial statements of the Company through September 12, 2011, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with M&K's opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.


In connection with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 and interim unaudited financial statements through September 12, 2011, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


Prior to September 12, 2011, the Company did not consult with SG&A regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to specified transactions, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (3) written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (4) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to M&K prior to the date of the filing of this report and requested that M&K 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 the letter furnished in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
