Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Former Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On December 23, 2016, the Company received a notice from its independent registered public accounting firm, GHP Horwath, P.C. (“GHP”), that GHP has chosen not to stand for re-appointment as the Company’s auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and effective as of December 23, 2016, the client-auditor relationship between the Company and GHP ceased. The resignation of GHP was not recommended by the Company’s audit committee nor was the audit committee’s approval required.

 

GHP has informed us that its employees have agreed to join another independent registered public accounting firm effective January 1, 2017. The audit reports of GHP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of GHP on the December 31, 2015, consolidated financial statements included an explanatory paragraph that described factors that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and for the subsequent period through December 23, 2016, the Company had no “disagreements” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with GHP 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 GHP, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Further, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and through December 23, 2016, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company furnished GHP with a copy of this Form 6-K on December 28, 2016, providing GHP with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree.

 

New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Company announced on December 28, 2016 that it has appointed RT LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the appointment of RT LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, subject to completion of its standard client acceptance procedures.
