Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s
Certifying Accountant.
On July 7, 2015, the Board of Directors
of East Coast Diversified Corporation., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), approved the engagement of Stevenson
& Company CPAS LLC (“Stevenson”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, effective immediately, and thereby ended its audit relationship with DKM Certified Public
Accountants (“DKM”).
DKM’s audit reports on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 did not contain
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During the fiscal years ended December
31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the subsequent interim periods through July 7, 2015, there were (i) no disagreements between
the Company and DKM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to DKM’s satisfaction, would have caused DKM to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial
statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.
The Company provided DKM with a copy
of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that DKM furnish a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of DKM’s letter
dated July 7, 2015, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
During the fiscal years ended December
31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the subsequent interim periods through July 7, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone acting
on its behalf has consulted with Stevenson regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements,
and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Stevenson concluded was an important factor considered
by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that
was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any reportable
event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
