Resignation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The reports of Schwartz on the Company’s financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than a “going concern” qualification. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 and during the subsequent interim period preceding Schwartz’s resignation, there were: (i) no disagreements with Schwartz on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Schwartz would have caused Schwartz to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports, and (ii) no reportable events of the type listed in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Schwartz also has confirmed the above statements to the Company’s successor independent auditor in a letter dated December 1, 2017 which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company provided Schwartz with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Schwartz furnish the SEC with a letter to the SEC stating whether or not Schwartz agrees with the above statements. Schwartz has provided such a confirming letter dated December 1, 2017 and it is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
