Item 4.01  Changes in the Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
   
(a) 
Resignation of Independent Accountant.
 
On September 30, 2014, the Board of Directors of Respect Your Universe, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Marcum LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm.  On September 30, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged DMCL LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
 
Marcum LLP did not issue a report on any of our Company’s financial statements. During our company’s fiscal year ended December  31, 2013 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
We provided Marcum LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and requested that it furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the respects with which it does not agree. A copy of such letter, dated October 2, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current report on Form 8-K.

During our Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of appointment of DMCL LLP on September 30, 2014, we have not consulted with DMCL LLP regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor has DMCL LLP provided to our Company a written report or oral advice that DMCL LLP concluded was an important factor considered by our Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. In addition, during such periods, our company has not consulted with DMCL LLP regarding any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
