Gentlemen:
Our firm issued an audit opinion on the financial statements of Vibe
Records, Inc. (Company) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, on or
about January 13, 2010. Subsequent to the release of our audit opinion, various
information came to our attention related to the reported February 27, 2009
issuance of 5,000,000 shares of stock, the disclosure of certain relationships
between the Company and Off The Hook Records, Inc. and the classification of
certain compensation expenses.
In prior periods, we made specific requests of management and/or their
representatives for documentation to further support various management
representations included in the September 30, 2009 financial statements which
included, but were not limited to, the February 27, 2009 issuance of stock, the
relationship between the Company and Off The Hook Records, Inc., and the
classification of certain compensation expenses. We made repeated attempts to
communicate with management on a) the open issues noted above and b) planning
for the audit of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010. Our firm was dismissed as auditor for the Company on or
about January 3, 2011 Some response to our inquiries was received on or about
February 28, 2011 from the Company's successor auditors, however, such response
did not fully address our requests or inquiries.
Prior to our receipt of complete information from management to enable us
to finalize a determination on these issues and reach a conclusion on the
materiality or other significance of previously reported events, we became aware
that management filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, on or about May 5, 2011
effective as of April 11, 2011, noting an Item 4.02 - Non-Reliance on Previously
Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim
Review - which contained management's disclosure of internal findings that could
potentially require a restatement of the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
As a result of management's May 5, 2011 Current Report on Form 8-K, we
hereby notify the Company that our audit opinion dated January 13, 2010 for the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 is
withdrawn. This audit opinion is not to be included in any filing with the U. S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not to be utilized for any purpose by
any investor, member of management, member of the audit committee or member of
the board of directors.
Further, due to the timing of the February 27, 2009 issuance of stock and
related concerns discussed above, we additionally withdraw our firm's review of
the Company's interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31,
2009, June 30, 2009, December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, which
we believe to be potentially impacted by the disclosures contained in the
Current Report on Form 8-K.
We do not comment upon or express any position on the issue of
classification of compensation expenses which has not been resolved or addressed
as of this date by the management of Vibe Records, Inc. Nevada.
This correspondence is provided to the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Sincerely,
/s/ S. W. Hatfield, CPA
