INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. (a) John Scrudato, CPA, dba Scrudato & Co., PA, ("Independent Accountant"), who was engaged to audit the financial statements of Baltia Air Lines Inc, is no longer being used and was dismissed as of January 09, 2017. (b) The Independent Accountant's report on the Company's financial statements of the last two years, 2015 and 2014, opined that the Company has incurred significant accumulated deficits, recurring operating losses and a negative working capital which factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and that no adjustments to statements were included that might result from the outcome of uncertainty. (c) At a special board meeting on January 9, 2017, the Company Board of Directors approved unanimously a resolution to remove the Independent Accountant, and is currently interviewing candidates for this position. (d) The decision to change Independent Accountants followed from the deregistration of John Scrudato dba Scrudato & Co., PA, by the Public Accounting Company Oversight Board ("PCAOB"). The Company had no prior disagreements with the Independent Accountant.
(e) The Company will send the disclosure required by Item 304(a) to the former Independent Accountant, and will request that he furnish a letter addressed to the Security Exchange Commission stating whether he agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which he does not agree. The Company will file the former Independent Accountant's letter as an amendment to this report within two business days of receiving his letter. | ||
