Current Report

Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant 

(a)       Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. 

On January 11, 2024, the Company dismissed Gries & Associates, LLC (“Gries”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The board of directors of the Company approved the dismissal of Gries. 

The reports of Gries on the Company’s financial statements for each of fiscal years ended October 31, 2022, and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except Gries’ audit report dated March 15, 2023, related to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022, contained an explanatory paragraph as to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period through July 31 2023, there were no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) between the Company and Gries on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Gries’ satisfaction, would have caused Gries to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit reports. The Company disclosed in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022 due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to components of the COSO framework which arose from the limited number of number of staff at the Company and the inability to achieve proper segregation of duties: (i) the Company lacked effective controls for ensuring the accuracy of reporting over significant account balances, including the review, approval, and documentation of related transactions and account reconciliations and other complex accounting procedures; and, (ii) the Company lacked effective controls because their directors are not independent. As a result of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2022, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. This disclosure was determined to be a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions). 

The Company provided Gries with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Gries furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements in Item 4.01(a). A copy of Gries’ letter, dated January 11, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. 

(b)	New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

On January 16, 2024, the Company appointed Victor Mokuolu, CPA (“Mokuolu”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of January16, 2024. The board of directors of the Company approved the appointment of Mokuolu. 

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1023, and the period from November 1, 2023, through the date of Mokuolu’s appointment, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with a regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and Mokuolu did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
