Item 4.01.
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Effective
as of October 4, 2017, we
dismissed Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as our independent
registered public accounting firm. Our Board of Directors approved
the dismissal of Friedman on October 4, 2017, and on the same date,
approved the engagement of ShineWing Australia
(“ShineWing”) as our independent registered public
accounting firm.
The
reports of Friedman on our financial statements for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and they were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles,
except that such reports included a going concern
qualification.
During
our fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the
subsequent interim period preceding their dismissal, there were no
disagreements with Friedman, 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 Friedman, would have caused them to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with their report on our financial statements.
We
provided Friedman with a copy of the disclosures we are making in
this Report and have requested that Friedman furnish us with a
letter addressed to the SEC stating whether they agree with the
above statements. A copy of Friedman’s letter is filed
herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the interim
periods preceding their engagement, and through the date of this
Report, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with
ShineWing regarding either (a) the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or
proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided
nor oral advice was provided to us that ShineWing concluded was an
important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any
matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in
paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in
paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)) of Regulation S-K).
