Dismissal of Current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 
i.
On October 14, 2014, StarkSchenkein, LLP (“StarkSchenkein”) was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 
ii.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved the dismissal on October 14, 2014.

 
iii.
StarkSchenkein’s audit report on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 
iv.
From February 1, 2013, the date the Company engaged StarkSchenkein as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and StarkSchenkein’s reviews of the Company’s quarterly interim unaudited financial information from March 31, 2013 through June 30, 2014, through the date of dismissal on October 14, 2014, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused StarkSchenkein to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, nor did StarkSchenkein advise the Company of any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K.

 
v.
The Company provided StarkSchenkein with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that StarkSchenkein furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not they agree with the above statements. The Company has received the requested letter from StarkSchenkein, and a copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
