Parent, McLaughlin & Nangle, CPA’s, Inc. (“PMN”), our independent registered public accounting firm, has informed us that it has merged into Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) and its partners and staff will join with Marcum LLP. PMN has further informed us that as a result of this transaction, PMN will no longer have a continuing practice after February 28, 2013 and as a result, is resigning as our independent registered public accounting firm effective February 11, 2013.
|
PMN audited the Company’s financial statements for the eleven month period ended March 31, 2012 and the year ended April 30, 2011. The audit reports of PMN on our financial statements for those periods did not contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to any uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During that period, and subsequently through February 11, 2013 there were no disagreements with PMN on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to PMN’s satisfaction, would have caused PMN to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit reports.
There were no “reportable events” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) since the appointment of PMN through February 11, 2013.
The Company furnished a copy of the disclosures herein to PMN and requested that PMN furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated February 11, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

Effective as of February 11, 2013, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged Marcum as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. The Audit Committee has engaged Marcum as a result of the acquisition of PMN’s practice by Marcum. During the year ended April 30, 2011, the 11 months ended March 31, 2012 and subsequently through February 11, 2013, the Company did not consult with Marcum with respect to 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 any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K), or a reportable event listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
