Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On November
18, 2015, EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”) resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm. On November 20, 2015, with the approval of its Audit Committee, the Company appointed Salberg & Company, P.A. (“Salberg”)
as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit
report of EisnerAmper on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 did not contain
an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles,
except that the audit report stated that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
During the
two years ended December 31, 2014 and through the subsequent interim period preceding EisnerAmper’s resignation, there were
no disagreements between the Company and EisnerAmper on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of EisnerAmper, would have caused
them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, nor were there any
reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the
two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and through the subsequent interim period prior to the Company’s appointment
of Salberg, the Company did not consult with Salberg on either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, (2) the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements;
or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable
event, as defined in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. In addition, Salberg did not provide any written or oral advice to the
Company that Salberg concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue.
The Company has provided EisnerAmper with a copy of the
disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that EisnerAmper furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements herein. A copy of the letter dated November 20,
2015 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
