Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On May 4, 2015, Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed LBB & Associates Ltd., LLP (“LBB”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company and its subsidiaries, effective immediately.  The Company’s board of directors approved the dismissal on April 22, 2015.

 

The reports of LBB on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and through May 4, 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and through May 4, 2015: (i) there have been no disagreements with LBB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of LBB, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports for such periods and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided to LBB the disclosure contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested LBB to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of such letter, dated May 5, 2015, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

 

Effective May 4, 2015, the Company engaged Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the new independent registered public accounting firm for the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and through May 4, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Marcum regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or any reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). Marcum did not provide the Company with a written report or oral advice that they concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
