Previous independent registered public accounting firm


(a) On March 22, 2017, Genesis Financial, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) notified dm-t, Certified Public Accountants (“dm-t”) that it was dismissed as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

The reports of dm-t on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.


During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the period of January 1, 2017 through March 22, 2017, the Company has not had any disagreements with dm-t on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to dm-t's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.


During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and through March 22, 2017, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
