ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On November 1, 2017, we filed a Form 8-K dismissing Pinaki & Associates, LLC (“Pinaki”) as our auditor. At the time of this Form 8-K filing, we provided Pinaki with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Pinaki a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures; however, Pinaki failed to respond to our requests and we filed the November 1, 2017 Form 8-K without Exhibit 16.1.
Pinaki has since provided us with the letter, which is filed herein as Exhibit 16.1
ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
