ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On September 5, 2013, the Registrant was informed by its independent registered public accounting firm, Morrill & Associates, LLC that the firm declined to continue as the Registrant’s auditors because Section 203 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires rotation from the lead or coordinating audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit or review of the audit if such partner has performed services for the particular issuer in each of the five (5) prior fiscal years. As the former accountant, Morrill & Associates, LLC declined to continue as the Company’s auditors because its primarily responsible partner fell within the obligatory rotation provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
On September 20, 2013, the Company signed a contract engaging the auditing firm of Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. as its auditors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Grant Hardy, CPA, of the firm shall serve as the audit partner with primary responsibility. The effective date of the engagement of Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. is September 20, 2013. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 9, 2013.
Neither the report of Morrill & Associates, LLC on the financial statements of Registrant dated June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2012, nor subsequent interim periods contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that each financial statement contained a going concern qualification. We have had no disagreements with Morrill & Associates, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to Morrill & Associates, LLC’s satisfaction would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on our financial statements. There were no disagreements or other “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K, occurring within the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods.
We have provided Morrill & Associates with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and have requested that it furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. We are including as an Exhibit to this Form 8-K a copy of the letter from Morrill & Associates, LLC as required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.
