Item 4.01. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of independent registered public accounting firm.
On June 1, 2013, Cellceutix Corporaton (the Company) was informed by its independent registered public accounting firm, Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP (HRR) that it has combined its practice (the Merger) with Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (Baker Tilly) effective as of June 1, 2013. As a result of the Merger, HRR effectively resigned as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm and Baker Tilly, as the successor to HRR following the Merger, became the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of Baker Tilly was approved by the Board of Directors on June 1, 2013.
The principal accountants reports of HRR on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report on our financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to uncertainty as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and through the effective date of the Merger, there were no disagreements with HRR on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to HRRs satisfaction would have caused HRR to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30,2012 and through June 1, 2013, there were no reportable events of the types described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Baker Tilly (as successor by merger of HRR) with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested Baker Tilly to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of the letter furnished by Baker Tilly, dated June 5, 2013 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm.
On June 1, 2013, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Baker Tilly as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of June 1, 2013.
