Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) On October 1, 2015, Cutler & Co., LLC (“Cutler & Co.”) merged its SEC auditing practice with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy PC. As a result of the transaction, Cutler & Co. voluntarily deregistered with the PCAOB and resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective November 12, 2015.

 

The Company had appointed Cutler & Co. as it independent registered public accounting firm on September 24, 2015 and since that date, through its resignation on November 12, 2015, Cutler & Co. has not completed either an audit of our annual financial statements or a review of our interim unaudited quarterly financial statements. Accordingly, Cutler & Co. issued no report during the period of its appointment.

 

During the period from its appointment on September 24, 2015 through its resignation November 12, 2015, there were (1) no disagreements with the Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure and procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cutler & Co, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report; and (2) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Item 304”).

 

We provided Cutler & Co. with a copy of this Current Report and have requested that it furnish the Company with a letter addressing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2016.

 

(b) On April 26, 2016, the Company retained Pritchett, Siler and Hardy PC of Farmington, Utah as our new independent principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years to date, and subsequent interim period through the date of engagement, the Company has not retained or inquired of Pritchett, Siler and Hardy PC regarding 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 registrant's financial statements. Further, the Company received no written report or oral advice from Pritchett, Siler and Hardy PC that the Company considered in reaching a decision to retain them, nor has the Company has communicated with or had any disagreements or reportable events that concern Pritchett, Siler and Hardy PC or the Company’s interactions with its former independent auditor for the previous two most recent fiscal years to date and subsequent interim period through the date of engagement.

 

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

(a) On April 25, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, audited by Mr. Terry Johnson, should no longer be relied upon. On October 6, 2015, the Commission notified the Company that it permanently suspended Mr. Johnson from practicing as an accountant on behalf of any publicly traded company, or other entity regulated by the SEC. The Company filed Form 8-K disclosing this fact on October 6, 2015. Thereafter, the Company reviewed Mr. Johnson’s audit work for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and concluded that the previously issued financial statements audited by Mr. Johnson for the year ended June 30, 2014 should not be relied upon. The Company is currently in the process of having its financial statements for 2014 re-audited along with its financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

 

Upon re-auditing of its previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that several adjustments were required including:
