This Form 8-K/A amends and updates our Form 8-K filed January 10, 2013 concerning the resignation of our former auditor, Silberstein Ungar, PLLC.
ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On January 4, 2013, our auditor, Silberstein Ungar, PLLC (“Silberstein Ungar”), notified us that it is resigning immediately as our auditor for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 due to our non-payment of fees owed to Silberstein Ungar. Silberstein Ungar has not provided us with any reports concerning our financial statements and have not provided us with an adverse or qualified opinion relating to our financial statements nor has Silberstein Ungar, PLLC informed us that our financial statements were not prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. There are no disagreements between our management and Silberstein Ungar relating to our financial statements, accounting principles or practices. The decision to resign was solely Silberstein Ungar’s and our Audit Committee and Board of Directors did not recommend or approve the resignation.
For our most recent two fiscal years and through the most recent subsequent interim period preceding Silberstein Ungar’s resignation, there were no disagreements with Silberstein Ungar on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Silberstein Ungar, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with any report.
The resignation of Silberstein Ungar did not express any view that:
o the necessary internal controls to prepare reliable financial statements do not exist,
o Silberstein Ungar can no longer rely on management’s representations or is unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management,
o Silberstein Ungar believed it should further investigate a matter or significantly expand the scope of its audit, and the auditor did not do so, or
o Silberstein Ungar has found new information that materially impacts the fairness or reliability of current or prior financial statements, and the issue has not been resolved to the auditor’s satisfaction.
Silberstein Ungar’s resignation was attached as an Exhibit to Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 10, 2013. Silberstein Ungar’s letter reflecting their agreement with the filing of this Form 8-K/A is attached as an Exhibit to this Current Report.
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
Because an audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 has not yet commenced, we have not yet filed our Form 10-K for fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
