ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On July 17, 2014, CodeSmart Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice by e-mail from KBL, LLP (“KBL”) stating the following:
Hi All,
This email will serve as notice that effective immediately KBL has resigned as the Registered Public Accounting Firm of Codesmart. Please file an 8K as soon as possible.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 were audited by KBL. This report on our financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. KBL’s report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, however, did contain an uncertainty with respect to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and through July 17, 2014, (a) there were no disagreements with KBL on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KBL, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the financial statements for such years, with the exception of the paragraph below; and (b) there were no “reportable events” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the course of the interim review engagement performed by KBL for the period March 31, 2014, management of the Company and KBL identified a misstatement in the revenue recognition of the Company’s fees earned for their tuition revenue. Up through September 30, 2013, the Company was recognizing revenue ratably over a term of 3 to 6 months. Commencing with the Company’s fourth quarter, December 31, 2013, the Company changed their policy of revenue recognition to record the revenue upon a students’ enrollment in the course that is offered through Florida International University. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company determined that it was more realistic to record the revenue over a six month period of time. Through discussions with KBL, during the period May 23, 2014 through June 3, 2014, it was determined that there was no supporting documentation that could be provided to KBL to justify the six month time frame. The Company’s website indicates that students shall have access for a period between 12 to 18 months to complete the courses for which they enrolled and purchased, therefore, this would be a more realistic time period for the revenue to be recognized. Upon a recommendation by KBL, the Company through its designee agreed that a restatement was necessary.
The Company has provided KBL with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested KBL to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above.
On August 6, the Company appointed Anderson Bradshaw PLLC (“Anderson Bradshaw”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Anderson Bradshaw is located at 5296 S. Commerce Drive Suite 300, Salt Lake City, UT 84107.
