FOWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS UNDER THE PROVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This Current
Report and other reports filed by American CryoStem Corporation (“CRYO” or the “Registrant”) from time
to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements
and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Registrant’s management as well
as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in
the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,”
“intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Registrant
or the Registrant’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view
of the Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including
the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the this Annual Report on Form 10-K., relating to the Registrant’s
industry, the Registrant’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Registrant may acquire. Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results
may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S
CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Resignation of independent registered public accounting firm:
On December 6, 2017, the Registrant was notified by its independent auditor, Leigh J. Kremer, Certified
Public Accountant (“Kremer”) that Kremer was discontinuing providing its public company accounting practice to CRYO
and was therefore resigning as CRYO’s independent auditor. A copy of the resignation letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K
The report of Kremer on CRYO’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended September 30,
2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principle, except that the reports contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was substantial
doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 through December 6, 2017,
(i)
no disagreements with
Kremer
on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Kremer
would have caused
Kremer
to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports, and (ii) no reportable events of the type listed in
paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The
Registrant
provided
Kremer
with a copy of this Current
Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that
Kremer
furnish the SEC with a letter to the SEC stating whether or not
Kremer
agrees with the above statements.
Kremer
has
provided such a confirming letter dated December 6, 2017 and it is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
.
New independent registered public accounting firm
On December 6, 2017, CRYO engaged Fruci & Associates II, PLLC (“Fruci”) as the Registrant’s independent accountants
to report on the Registrant’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. The decision to appoint Fruci was approved by the Registrant’s
Board of Directors. During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to the
engagement of Fruci, neither the Registrant nor anyone on the Registrant’s behalf consulted with Fruci regarding either
(i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either contemplated or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements and neither a written report not oral advice was
provided that Fruci concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant 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 between the Registrant
and its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.
