(a) Dismissal of KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”).
Story continues below

On September 5, 2017 (the “Dismissal Date”), the Board of Directors of the Company determined to dismiss KLJ as its independent registered public accounting firm.

The report of KLJ on the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except a going concern qualification on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through the Dismissal Date, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with KLJ 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 KLJ, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Further, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through the Dismissal Date, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided KLJ with a copy of this Report prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested KLJ to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC, stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made above and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit to this report.

(b) Engagement of Anton & Chia, LLP (“Anton & Chia”)

On September 5, 2017 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of Anton & Chia as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through the Engagement Date, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Anton & Chia regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction regarding the Company, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (2) any matter regarding the Company that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
