ITEM 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(1) Previous Independent Auditors:
| a. | On June 5, 2023, the Board of Directors dismissed D. Brooks & Associates CPAs (“DB”) as the Company’s independent accountants. | |
| b. | DB’s report on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting. | |
| c. | The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent accountants. Through the period covered by the financial review of financial statements of the quarterly period ending March 31, 2023, there have been no disagreements with DB 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 DB, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. Through the interim period June 5, 2023 (the date of dismissal of the former accountant), there have been no disagreements with DB 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 DB would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. | |
| d. | We have authorized DB to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant. | |
| e. | During the interim period through June 5, 2023, there have been no reportable events with us as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K. | |
| f. | The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to DB prior to the date of the filing of this Report and requested that DB furnish a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Report. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. |
(2) New Independent Accountants:
| a. | Subsequent to notifying D. Brooks & Associates CPAs of the firm’s dismissal, the Company engaged Assurance Dimensions , Inc. as its new registered independent public accountant. During the year ended December 31, 2022 and prior to June 5, 2023 (the date of the new engagement), we did not consult with Assurance Dimensions , Inc. regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Assurance Dimensions, Inc. in either case where written or oral advice provided by Assurance Dimensions , Inc. would be an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively). |
