Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a)
On February 6, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company accepted the resignation of Marcum LLP, its independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date, February 6, 2015, the accounting firm of John Scrudato CPA was engaged as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. From the date that Marcum LLP were engaged, April 25, 2003, to the present time, or any other period of time, the reports of Marcum LLP on the Company's financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or were qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the reports of Marcum LLP as to the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013, were modified for uncertainty due to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods thereto, there were no disagreements with Marcum LLP, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company's financial statements and no “reportable events” as defined in item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K were communicated except certain material weaknesses in the internal controls over financial reporting as discussed in the Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company has requested that Marcum LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. The letter is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K/A.
(b)
On February 6, 2015, the Company engaged John Scrudato CPA as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, the Company has not consulted John Scrudato CPA regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
