ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT:
On August 14, 2012 the Company dismissed its former certified public accountant Stan Jeong-Ha Lee, CPA, (“SL”) effective immediately. On August 14, 2012, the Company engaged John Scrudato CPA (“Scrudato”) as its registered independent public accountant. We decided to hire Srudato in the hopes that it would expedite bringing the Company current in its filings with the SEC. The decision to appoint Scrudato and dismiss SL were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for us to continue as a going concern, SL’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011 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. In connection with the audit and review of the financial statements of the Company through March 31, 2012, 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 SL’s opinion to the subject matter of disagreement.
The Company engaged Srudato effective August 14, 2012 to review its Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. At this time, there have been no prior discussions with Scrudato concerning internal controls and other accounting matters with respect to all accounting matters prior to matters concerning the 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, or any other matter or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
SL invoiced the Company on July 20, 2012 for $32,642.34 for new services rendered to the Company beginning January 11, 2012 through July 20, 2012. The Company previously paid SL approximately $48,000 on account for past services of which $8,267.00 was credited towards the new services invoiced on July 20, 2012. Inclusive in the $32,642.50 invoice from SL dated July 20, 2012 was $5,000 due in connection with work on the Company’s 10-Q for the 2nd quarter ended June 30, 2012 which following
SL’s dismissal on August 14, 2012 was reviewed by Scrudato. The Company does not dispute the $32,642.34 due SL, but it is unable to pay this amount at this time.
A copy of SL’s letter to the Commission is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A by amendment.
