Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

Effective December 4, 2014, the registrant dismissed Kelly & Company (“Kelly & Co.”) as its independent auditor.  The audit reports of Kelly & Co. on the registrant’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for explanatory paragraphs indicating that there was substantial doubt as to the registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

From its engagement through the date of the filing of this report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the registrant and Kelly & Co. on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Kelly & Co., would have caused Kelly & Co. to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the registrant’s financial statements for such periods, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

On December 8, 2014, the registrant engaged SingerLewak LLP (“SingerLewak”) as its independent registered accounting firm.  During its most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and the subsequent interim period through the engagement of SingerLewak on December 8, 2014, the registrant did not consult with SingerLewak on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements, and SingerLewak did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the registrant that was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The termination of Kelly & Co. and engagement of SingerLewak as the registrant’s auditors were approved by the registrant’s board of directors.

 

The registrant provided Kelly & Co. a copy of the disclosures contained herein and requested that Kelly & Co. furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Kelly & Co. agrees with the statements in this Item 4.01.  A copy of the letter dated December 9, 2014, furnished by Kelly & Co. in response to such request, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
