EXPLANATORY NOTE
On April 27, 2012, GeneLink, Inc. (the “Company”)
filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting a Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant. This amendment No.1 amends Item 4.01
of the subject Current Report on Form 8-K to provide information regarding the dismissal of Cross, Fernandez & Riley, LLP (“CFR”)
for the 2011 reporting year, and also to include Item 9.01 to provide the Letter of CFR filed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation
S-K.
ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On April 24, 2012, the Company engaged Hancock Askew & Co.,
LLP (
“Hancock Askew”
)
,
an independent member of the BDO Seidman, LLP Alliance network of firms, to be
the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as approved by Audit Committee and ratified by the Board of Directors
On March 14, 2012, the Company engaged Cross, Fernandez and
Riley, LLP (
“
CFR
”
)
,
an independent member of the BDO Seidman, LLP Alliance network of firms, to
audit the Company’s financial statements. Due to the 2011 engagement of CFR to assist management in researching the appropriate
accounting treatment for the sale of its Genewize subsidiary under the Stock Purchase Agreement with Capsalus Corp. and the related
license and distribution agreement, as discussed in the Company’s 8-K filing dated March 14, 2012, CFR is not considered
to be independent for the purposes of auditing the Company’s financial statements for 2011.
Though CFR is the principal auditor for the 2010 financial statements,
on April 24, 2012 the Company dismissed CFR for the 2011 reporting year due to the lack of independence for that year. In the period
from CFR’s appointment until April 24, 2012, there were no disagreements with CFR on any matters of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CFR,
would have caused CFR to make reference to the matter in its report of the financial statements, and there were no reportable events
as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
As a result of the dismissal, the Company has engaged Hancock
Askew to audit the Company’s 2011 financial statements. There has been no decision regarding CFR’s independence for
2012. Should any change in principal auditor take place for the subsequent year, the Company will make any required filing.
