Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants
|
(A) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
Effective December 6, 2017, the Company dismissed Anton & Chia, LLP (“AntonChia”) as the Company’s certifying auditors. During the period of engagement from January 1, 2010 through December 6, 2017 the auditor’s reports issued by AntonChia did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainly, audit scope or accounting principles. However, the audit reports did reflect uncertainties regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. During the referenced period, there were no disagreements between the Company and AntonChia on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of AntonChia, would have caused AntonChia to make reference to the matter in reports on the Company’s financial statements, had any such reports been issued. During the period of engagement, there were no reportable events as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant has provided AntonChia with a copy of the disclosures in this report and the Company requested a letter from AntonChia addressed to the Commission confirming the statements made by the Company in this report. A copy of that letter is attached as an exhibit to this report.
(B) New Independent Registered Pubic Accounting Firm.
As of the date of this Report, the Company has not engaged a new certifying auditor. At the time a new certifying auditor has been appointed, the Company will file an appropriate report on Form 8-K.
