(C) The Accountant did not advise the Company of the need to expand significantly the scope of its audit or that information has come to the Accountant’s attention that, if further investigated, may (x) materially impact the fairness or reliability of either a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report or (y) cause it to be unwilling to rely on management’s representations or be associated with the registrant’s financial statements; and
