contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such
reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principle.
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 and through the
Dismissal Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with
the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former
Auditors satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference
thereto in their reports on the Companys financial statements for
such years.
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 and through the
Dismissal Date, there were no reportable events, as defined in
