Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Effective March 2, 2017, the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors of Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Fontanella Associates
LLC CPA & Consulting Firm (“Fontanella Associates”) as the Company’s independent accounting firm for the
year ended December 31, 2016. The engagement followed the approval of Fontanella Associates’ application for registration with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the resignation of Fontanella & Babitts, the Company’s former independent
accounting firm, in connection with the dissolution of their partnership.
During the years ended
December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Fontanella Associates, the Company did
not consult with Fontanella Associates regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed
transaction or regarding the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Fontanella Associates on the Company’s financial
statements, Fontanella Associates did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company
in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, and the Company did not consult with
Fontanella Associates regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
The reports of
Fontanella & Babitts on the financial statements of the Company for the 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 principle.
In connection with its audits for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and reviews of the Company’s financial statements
through December 31, 2016, there were no disagreements with Fontanella & Babitts 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 Fontanella & Babitts, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports, and there have been no reportable
events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Fontanella
& Babitts with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
requested that Fontanella & Babitts furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter,
dated March 2, 2017, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
