Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On June 5, 2018, Notes, Inc. (the “Company”), with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), dismissed Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Fruci’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Fruci’s report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and through June 5, 2018, the Company has not had any disagreement with Fruci on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to Fruci’s satisfaction, would have caused Fruci to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements and the Company’s condensed financial statements for interim periods ended June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017. In addition, during the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and through June 5, 2018, there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Fruci with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that Fruci furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements in Item 4.01(a). A copy of Fruci’s letter, dated June 8, 2018, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On June 5, 2018, the Company engaged, with the approval of the Board, Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP (“Citrin Cooperman”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, commencing with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

During the Company’s most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and through June 5, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Citrin Cooperman on any matter relating to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided by Citrin Cooperman to the Company that Citrin Cooperman concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
