ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

On December 19, 2017, the Company dismissed Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC (“PSH”) as its independent registered accounting firm and engaged Heaton & Company, PLLC, dba Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah, as its new independent registered accounting firm.

 

Since PSH’s appointment as our independent registered accounting firm on January 6, 2016 and through December 19, 2017, which included its audits of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and PSH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PSH, would have caused PSH to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided PSH with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that PSH furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PSH agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated December 19, 2017, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.

 

During years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and in the subsequent interim period through December 19, 2017, the Company has not consulted with PSH regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a 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 nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PSH concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
