Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

Effective as of July 25, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), dismissed Weinberg & Company, P.A. (“Weinberg”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and engaged BDO USA, LLP to serve as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the same date. The change of independent registered public accounting firms was made to more closely match the Company’s evolving business and not due to any disagreements with Weinberg. The decision to change principal accountants was also approved by the audit committee of the Board effective as of the same date.

 

Neither of Weinberg’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Weinberg’s report for the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and any subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Weinberg 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 Weinberg, would have caused Weinberg to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their reports on the Company’s financial statements, and (ii) no reportable events (as described in paragraphs (a)(1)(v) (A) through (D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company previously provided Weinberg with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”), and has requested that Weinberg furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the above statements. A copy of the requested letter received from Weinberg, dated July 25, 2018, stating that they agree is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Board approved the engagement of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) to serve as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the same date. The decision to engage BDO was also approved by the audit committee of the Board effective as of the same date.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and any subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with BDO regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements by BDO, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by BDO that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” (as such terms are described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K) between the Company and its former independent registered public accounting firm, Weinberg.
