ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

On May 14, 2012, the Board of Directors of Ascend Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of GBH CPAs, PC (“GBH”) and the engagement of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements. Marcum was selected because it was already the auditor for Andover Games, LLC (“Andover Games”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and using the same auditor would be more expedient and cost effective.

GBH’s report on the financial statements for the Company for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that the report of GBH accompanying the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was qualified as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 14, 2012, there were no disagreements with GBH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GBH, would have caused GBH to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 14, 2012, there were no “reportable events” (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided GBH 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 requested GBH to furnish a letter addressed to the Commission, attached hereto as Exhibit 16, stating whether it agrees with such disclosures, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

As indicated above, Marcum is the auditor for Andover Games. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of Marcum, other than as auditor for Andover Games, the Company did not consult Marcum regarding either: (i) 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 either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Marcum concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a “reportable event” (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
