ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Effective August 29, 2016, the registrant dismissed HHC as its independent auditors. This action was approved by the Audit Committee of the registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and ratified by the Board.
The reports of HHC on the registrant’s financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and through August 29, 2016, there were: (i) no disagreements between the registrant and HHC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of HHC, would have caused HHC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the registrant’s financial statements for such periods, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On August 29, 2016, the registrant engaged KSP GROUP, INC. (“KSP”) as its independent registered accounting firm. During its two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the subsequent interim period through the engagement of KSP on August 29, 2016, the registrant did not consult with KSP on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements, and KSP did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the registrant that was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The registrant provided HHC a copy of the disclosures contained herein and requested that HHC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not HHC agrees with its statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter furnished by HHC in response to such request will be filed once available.
