Item 4.01 Changes to registrant’s certifying accountant
On November 20, 2013, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”), through the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and with the ratification of its Board of Directors, dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and engaged Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. (“Weaver”) as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.
The report of Marcum regarding the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, scope or accounting principles. The reports of Marcum did, however, include an explanatory paragraph with regard to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and through the date of their dismissal, there were no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which would have caused it to make reference to such disagreements in the reports. There have been no reportable events as provided in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K up to and including the dismissal of Marcum except for the material weakness Marcum advised the Company which indicated weaknesses in internal controls.
As previously disclosed, Weaver was engaged as the Company’s internal registered public accounting firm on June 18, 2012 and dismissed on August 3, 2012. Subsequent to the dismissal of Weaver on August 3, 2012, and prior to reengaging Weaver on November 20, 2013, the Company did not consult with Weaver regarding (i) 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 Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided by Weaver that Weaver concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to a ccounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or reportable event (as described in or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Marcum and Weaver a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that Marcum furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements in this Item 4.01.
A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated December 2, 2013 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
