ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

 

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 

On February 25, 2015, Altovida, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the “Company”) was notified by L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC (“Bradford”) that the firm resigned as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm. Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the reports of Bradford on the Company’s  financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

 

The reports of Bradford on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 contained explanatory paragraphs which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has negative working capital that raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 and through February 25, 2015, the Company has not had any disagreements with Bradford on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Bradford’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

During the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, and through February 25, 2015, there were the following “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K). As disclosed in Part I, Item 4 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2014, the Company’s management determined that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of the end of such period due to the existence of material weaknesses related to the following:

 

         i.            inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and

        ii.            insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

These material weaknesses have not been remediated as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Other than as disclosed above, there were no reportable events during the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, and through February 25, 2015. The Company’s Board of Directors discussed the subject matter of each reportable event with Bradford. The Company authorized Bradford to respond fully and without limitation to all requests of RBSM concerning all matters related to the audited period by Bradford, including with respect to the subject matter of each reportable event.

 

The Company provided Bradford with a copy of this disclosure set forth under this Item 4.01 and was requested to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.

 

A copy of the letter from Bradford is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1

New independent registered public accounting firm

 

On February 25, 2015 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged RBSM, LLP (“RBSM ”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2015. The decision to engage RBSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with RBSM regarding either:

 

1.the application of accounting principles to any specified 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 was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that RBSM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

 

2.any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a) (1) (v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
