SECTION 4.  MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 4.01  Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On September 17, 2015, HCi Viocare (the “Company”) notified its independent registered public accounting firm, Anderson Bradshaw PLLC (“Anderson Bradshaw”), that the Company had decided to change auditors and was therefore dismissing Anderson Bradshaw, effective immediately.  The Company’s decision was approved by the Company’s board of directors, acting as the audit committee, on that same day, and concurrent with Anderson Bradshaw’s dismissal, the board of directors appointed Heaton & Company, PLLC (“Heaton”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and through September 17, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Heaton regarding (i) 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Heaton concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The reports of Anderson Bradshaw regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and through September 17, 2015, the Company did not (i) have any disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with Anderson Bradshaw on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Anderson Bradshaw, would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports; or (ii) experience any reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided Anderson Bradshaw with a copy of this disclosure on September 17, 2015 and requested that Anderson Bradshaw furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of the letter, dated September 17, 2015, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
