The report was modified only as to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the period from February 14, 2018 (the Date of Engagement) through the Effective Resignation Date, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and Haynie on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Haynie, would have caused Haynie to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements or such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided Haynie with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Haynie furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Haynie agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated December 10, 2018 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
