The reports of AKAM on the financial statements of the Company for the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through October 16, 2017, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, with the exception of providing a qualification as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and the subsequent interim periods thereto.
The decision to accept the resignation of AKAM and to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm (as described below in this Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant) was approved by the Company’s board of directors.

On October 16, 2017 the Company provided AKAM with a copy of this Current Report and has requested that it furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
