Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Resignation of Jeffrey & Co.
On May 6, 2014, the license of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Jeffrey & Company, was revoked by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. On May 15, 2014, the Jeffrey & Company (“Former Auditor”) resigned as the Company’s auditor.
The Former Auditor was the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant from December, 2001 until May 13, 2014, the Former Auditor’s reports on the Registrant's financial statements for the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and the period from Inception (January 1, 2009) to May 31, 2013 did not (a) contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or (b) was modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, or (c) contained any disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Auditor, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports for the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the period from Inception (January 1, 2009) to May 31, 2013 and the subsequent interim periods preceding May 13, 2014. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K occurred during the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the period from Inception (January 1, 2009) to May 31, 2013 and the subsequent interim periods preceding May 13, 2014 in which the Former Auditor served as the Registrant's principal independent accountants.
However, the report of the Former Auditor dated September 12, 2013 on our financial statements for the twelve month periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from Inception (January 1, 2009) to May 31, 2013 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Registrant has provided the Former Auditor with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that the Former Auditor furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter from the Former Auditor addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated May 17, 2014 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Appointment of a New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On May 17, 2014, the Registrant engaged Michael F. Albanese as the Registrant’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of Michael F. Albanese was approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors.
