(a) Dismissal of Independent Certifying Accountant

On April 21, 2017, MYnd Analytics, Inc. (the Company) informed
Anton Chia, LLP (AC) of its dismissal as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon
AC’s completion of interim review procedures related to the
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017. The decision to dismiss AC
was approved by the Company’s audit committee.

The reports of AC on the Company’s financial statements for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 did not contain
any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles, except that the reports for both fiscal
years contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 and the
subsequent interim period through April 21, 2017, there were: (i)
no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K)
with AC on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of AC,
would have caused AC to make reference to the subject matter of
such disagreements in connection with its reports on the
Company’s financial statements for such fiscal years; and (ii)
no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).

The Company provided AC with a copy of the disclosure set forth
in this Item 4.01 and requested that AC furnish the Company with
a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made
herein, each as required by applicable SEC rules. A copy of ACs
letter, dated April 25, 2017, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

On April 21, 2017, the Company appointed Marcum, LLP (Marcum) as
the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.
to the engagement, Marcum will review the condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the quarter ending June
30, 2017, and audit the consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017. The
decision to appoint Marcum was approved by the Company’s audit
committee..

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 and the
subsequent interim period through April 21, 2017, neither the
Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Marcum
regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a
specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial
statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was
provided to the Company that Marcum concluded was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any
accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any
matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to
Item 304 of Regulation S-K); or (iii) any reportable event (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

the Deferred Pay in equal semi-monthly installments on the
Companys established pay dates via the Companys regular payroll
system, beginning on the next established pay date following May

granted to Mr. Buck under the Companys Amended and Restated 2012

period of 12 months from September 30, 2017 in accordance with
their terms. During the Consulting Period, Mr. Buck, to the
extent requested by the Company, has agreed to serve as a
consultant and provide reasonable assistance to the Company on an
as-needed basis.

limitations set forth in the Separation Agreement, against the
Company related to Mr. Buck’s employment with, and separation
from, the Company. The Separation Agreement also contains

period of 7 days following its effective date.
