SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On October 25, 2018, Paritz & Company, P.A. ("Paritz"), the independent registered public accounting firm of Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. (the "Company"), announced its resignation effective on the same date. As a result, the Company's Board of Directors engaged Prager Metis CPAs LLC (“Prager”) to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective October 25, 2018. The Company’s change in independent registered public accounting firms occurred as a result Prager’s acquisition of Paritz and for no other reason.

 

The reports of Paritz on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that the audit reports on the financial statements of the Company for the two fiscal years contained an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2018 to the date of this report, and in connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements for such periods, there were no disagreements between the Company and Paritz 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 Paritz, would have caused Paritz to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company's financial statements.

 

During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2018 to the date of this report, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the Company's fiscal years December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2018 to the date of this report, the Company did not consult with Prager regarding any of the matters set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided Paritz with a copy of the disclosures in this report and has requested that Paritz furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Paritz agrees with the statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of this letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
