SECTION 4 – MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIALS STATEMENTS

 

ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

(a) On January 17, 2014, the Company dismissed Alan R. Swift, CPA, P.A. (“Swift”) from his engagement to be the independent certifying accountant for the Company.

 

Other than an explanatory paragraph included in Swift’s audit report for the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 relating to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the audit report of Swift on the Company's financial statements for the last fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 through January 17, 2014, 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.

 

During the Company's 2012 and 2011 fiscal years and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, (1) there were no disagreements with Swift on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Swift, would have caused Swift to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, and (2) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

(b) On January 20, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of Terry L. Johnson, CPA, as the Company's independent accountant effective immediately to audit the Company’s financial statements and to perform reviews of interim financial statements. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 through January 20, 2014 neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Terry L. Johnson, CPA regarding (i) either the application of any accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction of the Company, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Terry L. Johnson, CPA on the Company's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with Swift or a reportable event with respect to Swift.
