ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Previous independent registered public accounting firm
(a) On August 3, 2015, HIGH PERFORMANCE BEVERAGES COMPANY (the “Registrant” or the ‘Company”) was notified by RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) that the firm resigned as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm. RBSM was engaged by the Company on February 2, 2015. RBSM did not issue an audit report on the Company’s financial statements. Since RBSM did not issue any report on the Company’s financial statements, none exist that contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the period February 2, 2015 through August 3, 2015: (i) there have been no disagreements with RBSM 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 RBSM, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports for such periods and (ii) there were no "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided RBSM with a copy of this disclosure set forth under this Item 4.01 and was requested to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.
A copy of the letter from RBSM is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1
New independent registered public accounting firm
On August 3, 2015 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged GBH CPAs, PC (“GBH”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2015. The decision to engage GBH as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with GBH regarding either:
| 1. | The application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that GBH concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or |
| 2. | Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K). |
