Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

D’Arelli Pruzansky, P.A. (“DPP”), which served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Celsius’ financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, notified us that it has merged with Assurance Dimensions, Inc. (“ADI”), effective May 3, 2017. ADI is the surviving firm and shall continue to practice under that name. Accordingly, ADI was engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm effective May 15, 2017 (the “Engagement Date”), which engagement was approved by the audit committee of our board of directors effective as of the Engagement Date.

 

DPP's report on the Celsius’ financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two-year period ended December 31, 2016 and the subsequent period through the date of filing of this report, (i) there have been no disagreements with DPP, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of DPP, would have caused DPP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports; (ii) no such disagreement was discussed with the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors or with our board of directors as a whole; and (iii) there have been no “reportable events” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided DPP with a copy of this report and requested DPP, to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether DPP agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Report, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The letter from DPP is attached to this filing as an exhibit.

 

Prior to the Engagement Date, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted ADI regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of the Company, and no written or oral advice of ADI was provided with respect to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement of the type described in Item 304(a)(iv) of Regulation S-K or any “reportable event” described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
