Item 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING
ACCOUNTANT.
On December 19, 2018 Seafarer Exploration Corp. (the Company) was
notified by Daszkal Bolton, LLP(“Daszkal Bolton”), the
Company's independent accounting firm, that DB had elected to cease
its services as the PCAOB auditors for the Company. On January 8,
2019, the Company engaged D. Brooks and Associates CPA’s,
P.A. (“Brooks and Associates”) as its new independent
accounting firm.
Other than for the inclusion of a paragraph describing the
uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern (for the year ended December 31, 2017 and quarters ending
through September 30, 2018), Daszkal Bolton’s reports on the
Company’s financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2017 and quarters ending through September 30, 2018, contained
no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to audit scope or accounting
principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period preceding Daszkal Bolton’s
dismissal, there were: (i) no “disagreements” (within
the meaning of Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K) with Daszkal Bolton
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 Daszkal
Bolton, would have caused it to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in its report on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company; and (ii) no “reportable
events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period preceding Brooks and Associates’s
engagement, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted
Brooks and Associates regarding either: (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed
or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or
oral advice was provided to the Company that Brooks and Associates
concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in
reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a
“disagreement” or “reportable event”
(within the meaning of Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively). In approving the
selection of Brooks and Associates as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm, the Board of
Directors considered all relevant factors, including that no
non-audit services were previously provided by Brooks and
Associates to the Company. The Board of Directors also considered
Brooks and Associates’s ability to work with the Company to
file its reports in a timely manner.
The company has provided a copy of this report to Daszkal Bolton
and has requested that Daszkal Bolton furnish a letter addressed to
the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made
by the company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does
not agree. A copy of this letter is filed as an exhibit to
this report on Form 8-K
