Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 2017, on January 13, 2017, Bioptix, Inc. (the "Company") received notice from its independent registered public accounting firm, GHP Horwath, P.C. ("GHP"), that GHP has chosen not to stand for re-appointment as the Company's auditor, and effective January 13, 2017, the client-auditor relationship between the Company and GHP ceased.
On February 3, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors appointed EisnerAmper LLP ("Eisner") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective February 3, 2017. The decision to appoint Eisner was recommended and approved by our Audit Committee following the Committee's further process to determine our independent registered accounting firm. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period through February 3, 2017, neither we, nor anyone on our behalf, consulted with Eisner regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and Eisner did not provide any written report or oral advice that Eisner concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; (iii) any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or (iv) any "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
