Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On March 7, 2014, MetaStat, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”) as its principal accountant and dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) from that role. The change in accountants was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by MaloneBailey.
In connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 and the subsequent interim period through March 7, 2014, (i) there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to MaloneBailey’s satisfaction, would have caused MaloneBailey to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of MaloneBailey’s letter addressed to the SEC relating to the statements made by the Company in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period prior to March 7, 2014, the Company did not consult with EisnerAmper regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and no written or oral advice was provided by EisnerAmper that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
