ITEM 4.01  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

a)           Previous Independent Accountant

On February 17, 2016, KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”) resigned as the principal independent registered public accounting firm for Cantabio Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”).  The Audit Report of KLJ, dated August 7, 2015, on the Company’s financial statements for the past fiscal year did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the report dated August 7, 2015 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 contained statements indicating there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern.  Since August 4, 2014, the date of KLJ’s appointment as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and up to and including the date of KLJ’s resignation, there have been no disagreements with KLJ on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KLJ, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such periods.

On February 23, 2016, the Company provided a copy of this report on Form 8-K to KLJ, requesting their comments on the information contained herein.  The responsive letter from KLJ is herewith filed as an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.
