(iii)                During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016, and the subsequent period through the date of termination (A) there have been no disagreements with L & L, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of L & L, would have caused L & L, to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their respective reports; (B) no such disagreement was discussed with the Company’s board of directors or any committee of the board of directors of the Company; and (C) there have been no “reportable events” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

(iv)               We have provided L & L and have requested L & L to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether such firm agrees with the statements made by the Company in this report, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter is filed hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
