Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
A. Previous Independent Accountants
On November 19, 2013, the then Board of Directors for Morris Business Development Company (the “Company”) accepted the resignation of the Company’s Auditor. Anton and Chia LLP. The Company engaged Anton and Chia, LLP on April 22, 2013.
As of the filing of the Form 8-K disclosing the resignation of Anton and Chia dated November 19, 2013, the Company requested that Anton and Chia, LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agreed with certain statements made in that Form 8-K. That letter was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the November 20, 2013 8-K.
For the year ended March 31, 2013 and for the period from April 22, 2013 through November 19, 2013, there were no disagreements with the former accountant Anton and Chia, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the Satisfaction of Anton and Chia, LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report during Company’s most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding through the dismissal of Anton and Chia, LLP.
For each of the past two years ended March 31, 2012 and March 2011 and subsequent interim periods through April 24, 2013 preceding the termination of Kinross-Kennedy, there were no disagreements with the former accountant Kinross-Kennedy on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which if not resolved to the Satisfaction of Kennedy, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report during Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding through the dismissal of Kennedy.
For each of the past two years ended March 31, 2013 and March 2012 and the subsequent interim period following the resignation of Anton and Chia, LLP no consultations occurred between the Company and JPDH regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered regarding the Company’s financial statements, or other information provided that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or a reportable event requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
B. New Independent Accountants
