Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
    On January 5, 2017, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee, the Board of Directors of MEDITE Cancer Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
 
    The report of Withum on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  In connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, (1) there were no disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum, would have caused Withum to make reference to the matter in its report and (2) there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Item 304”). The Company provided Withum with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.The Company has requested Withum to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated January 11, 2017, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
 
On January 11, 2017 (the “Engagement Date”), upon the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged KMJ Corbin & Company LLP (“KMJ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, beginning with the period ended December 31, 2016.
 
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through the Engagement Date, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted KMJ regarding either (1) 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 Company's consolidated financial statements; or (2) any matter regarding the Company that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Washington, D.C. 20549 Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Medite Cancer Diagnostics, Inc.

On January 5, 2017, we were dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
 
We have read the Company’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated January 11, 2017, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with (i) the Company’s statement that the audit committee of the board of directors engaged KMJ Corbin & Company LLP (KMJ) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) the Company’s statement that KMJ was not consulted regarding 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 Company’s financial statements and (iii) the Company’s statement that KMJ did not provide any written reports or oral advice considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting or any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
 
Very truly yours,
