Section 4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On April 22, 2014, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, formally indicated that it would not stand for re-appointment as the Company’s independent accountant. The Company’s audit committee is in discussions to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm to serve as the Company’s independent accountant.
The report of BDO USA, LLP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, noting the Company’s recurring losses from operations, negative working capital and negative cash flows from operating activities, among other factors.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding such declination, there were no disagreements with BDO USA, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO USA, LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.
The Company has provided BDO USA, LLP a copy of the statements made in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested BDO USA, LLP to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not BDO USA, LLP agrees with such statements. A copy of the letter of BDO USA, LLP is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
