During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017 and through the date of dismissal of RBSM, there have been no “disagreements” (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with RBSM on any matter of accounting principle or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of RBSM would have caused RBSM to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years.
