EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to the Organic Alliance Inc. Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 26, 2013 (the “Form 8-K”), is to correct the “Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported)” from November 26th, 2013 to November 6, 2013 and the date the Company notified Marcum was updated from November 22, 2013 to November 6, 2013. In addition, the Company added disclosure for the material weakness in its system of internal controls over financial reporting in section 4.01(a)(iv) below and clarified the new independent accountant previous involvement with the Company in section 4.01(b)(ii) below. In addition, the Company included an updated letter from Marcum in exhibit 16.1 below.

 

ITEM 4.01.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

(a)           Former independent accountants.

 

(i)   On November 6, 2013, Organic Alliance, Inc. (“Registrant”) notified Marcum, LLP, (Marcum) Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm, that it was being replaced.

 

(ii)  

 

The report of Marcum on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report included an explanatory paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

(iii)   The decision to discontinue the audit services of Marcum was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

(iv)   During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through November 26, 2013, there has been no disagreement with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report. There have been no reportable events as provided in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K up to and including the dismissal of Marcum except for the material weakness in its system of internal controls over financial reporting which Marcum advised the Company existed. The controls designed were adequate for financial disclosures required for the preparation of the Company Form 10-Q and 10-K filings; however due to lack of resources in the Company’s accounting department the controls were not operating effectively.

 

(v)   We have provided Marcum with a copy of this disclosure and have requested that Marcum furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements.   A copy of the letter from Marcum, dated November 10, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

(b)           New independent accountants.

 

(i)   On November 3, 2013, we retained KBL, LLP (KBL) as our new independent registered public accounting firm to audit Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.  The appointment was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

(ii)   During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding such resignation, we have not previously consulted with KBL on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, or on the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and Marcum or was a reportable event.  In addition, the Company did not consult with KBL regarding the material weakness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting prior to engaging KBL.
