ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a) Dismissal of Independent Certifying Accountant
The Company's former independent registered public accountant, Dave Banerjee,
CPAs ("Banerjee") retired in August 2020. The Company engaged Banerjee in
November 2015 to perform the audit of the Company's financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2015. Banerjee has not performed any services for the
Company since May 17, 2016, the date on which Banerjee's audit of the Company's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, was completed and
Banerjee's audit report was issued.
The report of Banerjee regarding the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of Banerjee on the
Company's financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015,
contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, and during the period from January 2016
to August 2020, the date of Banerjee's retirement, (i) there were no
disagreements with Banerjee on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Banerjee would have caused
it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports; and (ii) there were no
reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Banerjee with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and
requested that Banerjee furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. As of the date of
the filing of this current report, the Company has not received the
aforementioned letter.
(b) Engagement of Independent Certifying Accountant
Effective August 3, 2021, the Company engaged Assurance Dimensions Certified
Public Accountants & Associates ("Assurance") as its independent registered
public accounting firm, and to audit the Company's financial statements for each
respective year ended December 31, 2016 to 2020, pursuant to the approval of the
Company's Board of Directors.
During each of the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the
interim periods preceding the engagement of Assurance, the Company (a) has not
engaged Assurance as either the principal accountant to audit the Company's
financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant
subsidiary of the Company and on whom the principal accountant is expected to
express reliance in its report; and (b) has not consulted with Assurance
regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific
transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and no written report
or oral advice was provided to the Company by Assurance concluding there was an
important factor to be considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was
either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
