ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
Previous independent registered public accounting firm
On September 20, 2019 (the “Dismissal Date”), the
Company advised RBSM LLP (the “Former Auditor”) that it was dismissed as the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss the Former Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public
accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and through
the Dismissal Date, the Company has not had any disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the Former Auditor’s
satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for
such years.
Except as set forth below, during the years ended December 31,
2018 and 2017 and through the Dismissal Date, the reports of the Former Auditor on the Company’s financial statements did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principle, except that the report contained a paragraph stating there was substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
New independent registered public accounting firm
On September 23, 2019 (the “Engagement Date”), the
Company engaged Marcum LLP (“New Auditor”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s
fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The decision to engage the New Auditor 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 the New Auditor regarding either:
1.
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 the New Auditor 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 Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or reportable event (as defined in Regulation
S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
