Item 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

 

The Audit Committee of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) recently completed a process to determine what audit firm would serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2013 and beyond in order to remedy its current delinquent status with respect to the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year ended December 31, 2013. On September 5, 2014, the Audit Committee determined to dismiss MaloneBailey, LLP (“Malone”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.

 

The Company had engaged Malone on April 24, 2013 to audit its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and reaudit the year ended December 31, 2012, but Malone has not issued an opinion on such consolidated financial statements due to its inability to complete the audits of 2013 and 2012 caused by disagreements with the Company’s management and its prior auditors regarding the Company’s accounting policy for certain costs that are capitalized and included in the Company’s Oil and Gas properties and the valuation of certain equity based and derivative instruments.

 

During the audit for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the reaudit of the year ended December 31, 2012, and through September 5, 2014, there were (a) disagreements with Malone on the capitalization of certain costs included in the Company’s Oil and Gas properties for the years 2013, 2012 and periods prior to 2012 and disagreements on the valuation of certain stock options and warrants granted in 2011 and 2012 that if not resolved to Malone’s satisfaction, would cause Malone to disclose that in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such year; and (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K related to the matters mentioned in (a).

 

The Company provided Malone with a copy of the disclosure contained in this Form 8-K and requested that Malone provide the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Malone agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Malone’s letter dated, September 9, 2014 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

Contemporaneous with the determination to dismiss Malone, the Audit Committee engaged L.L. Bradford & Company (“Bradford”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2013  and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, and the subsequent interim period through September 5, 2014 the Company did not consult with Bradford regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
