ITEM 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On January 24, 2018, ROI Land Investments, Ltd. (the “Company”) was notified from its predecessor registered public accounting firm (the “Predecessor Auditor”) that the Company failed to obtain authorization from the Predecessor Auditor to reissue its audit opinion for the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended (“Precedent Auditor Reporting Period”) in connection with its Form 10-K previously filed on December 29, 2017 and related amendments, namely Amendment No. 1 filed on January 1, 2018 and Amendment No. 2 filed on January 23, 2018.
As a result, the audit opinion provided by the Predecessor Auditor for the Precedent Auditor Reporting Period cannot be relied upon due to the lack of authorization from the Predecessor Auditor.
The Company is seeking to obtain appropriate authorization from the Predecessor Auditor and plans to file a further amendment to the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
