(b) GBH’s reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such reports contained explanatory paragraphs in respect to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(c) During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent period through August 10, 2018, there were no disagreements, (as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with GBH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to GBH's satisfaction would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the subsequent period through August 10, 2018, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
