(ii)                 The reports of Davidson & Company LLP on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

(iii)                The Company’s board of directors and audit committee participated in and approved the decision to change independent registered public accounting firms.

 

(iv)               During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and through September 14, 2017, there have been no disagreements with Davidson & Company LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Davidson & Company LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their report on the financial statements for such years.

 

(v)                 The Company has requested that Davidson & Company LLP furnishes it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of the letter provided by Davidson & Company LLP is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
