Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 13, 2017, Bioptix, Inc. (the "Company") received notice from its independent registered public accounting firm, GHP Horwath, P.C. ("GHP"), that GHP has chosen not to stand for re-appointment as the Company's auditor, and effective as of January 13, 2017, the client-auditor relationship between the Company and GHP Horwath, P.C. shall cease. The resignation of GHP was not recommended by the Company's audit committee nor was the audit committee's approval required.
GHP has informed us that its employees joined another independent registered public accounting firm effective January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating retention of another independent registered public accounting firm, which will be subject to the approval of the Company's audit committee.
The audit report of GHP on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and through January 13, 2017, there were no "disagreements" (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with GHP 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 GHP, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and through January 13, 2017, there were no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, we furnished GHP with a copy of this Form 8-K, providing GHP with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K as the same pertain to GHP and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree. A copy of GHP's response is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
