or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, except that each report contained a modification to
the effect that there was substantial doubt as to the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern.

subsequent periods through the date of this report, (i)there were
no disagreements between the Company and EKSH on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of EKSH, would have caused EKSH to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection
with its reports on the Companys financial statements, and
(ii)there were no reportable events as that term is described in
Item304(a)(1)(v) of RegulationS-K.

The Company provided EKSH 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 EKSH furnish the
Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not
it agrees with the above statement. A copy of EKSHs letter, dated
February13, 2017 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K.

subsequent interim period through the date of this report, the
Company did not consult with Deloitte regarding either (i)the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Companys financial statements or (ii)any
matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined
in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item304 of RegulationS-K and the
related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described
in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item304 of RegulationS-K).
