ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
|
(1) |
PREVIOUS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS: |
|
a. |
On September 17, 2018, the Company terminated Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte, LLP, CPAs, (“DMCL”) as its registered independent public accountant. |
|
b. |
DMCL’s reports on the financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. |
|
c. |
Our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent accountants. Through the period covered by the financial audit for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 there have been no disagreements with DMCL 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 DMCL would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. Through the interim period September 17, 2018 (the date of termination of the former accountant), there have been no disagreements with DMCL 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 DMCL would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. |
|
d. |
We have authorized DMCL to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant. |
|
e. |
During the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, and for the subsequent period, through September 17, 2018, the date of DMCL’s termination, there have been no reportable events with us as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K. |
|
f. |
The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to DMCL prior to the date of the filing of this Report and requested that DMCL furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Report. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. |

the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, |
|
ii. |
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements by Fruci & Associates II, PLLC, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Fruci & Associates II, PLLC would be an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or |
|
