Item 4.01 Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

On January 18, 2016, Spotlight Innovation Inc. (the "Company") notified GBH CPAs, PC of its dismissal as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective as of that date. The decision to change independent registered public accounting firms was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

 

GBH CPAs, PC's reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles other than the substantial doubt that the Company would continue as a going concern.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through January 18, 2016, the date of GBH CPAs, PC's dismissal, there were no: (1) disagreements with GBH CPAs, PC 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 GBH CPAs, PC, would have caused GBH CPAs, PC to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K).

 

GBH CPAs, PC's letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating its agreement with the statements in these paragraphs is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8 K.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

On January 19, 2016, the Company selected WithumSmith+Brown, PC as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to engage WithumSmith+Brown, PC as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and through January 19, 2016, the date of the Company's decision to engage WithumSmith+Brown, PC, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with WithumSmith+Brown, PC regarding (1) 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 financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with GBH CPAs, PC on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GBH CPAs, PC, would have caused them to make reference to the matter in their report, or a "reportable event" as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K of the Commission's rules and regulations.
