Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective as of July 17, 2015, DKM Certified Public Accountants, Inc. (“DKM”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”).
The report of DKM on the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through July 21, 2015, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with DKM 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 DKM, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Further, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through July 21, 2015, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided DKM with a copy of this disclosure on July 22, 2015, providing DKM with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree. A copy of DKM’s letter to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On July 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Stevenson & Company CPAS LLC (“Stevenson”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through July 21, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Stevenson with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Stevenson concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
