During the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and up through April 16, 2013, there were no disagreements with Lurie Besikof Lapidus and Company, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Lurie Besikof Lapidus and Company, LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports on the company’s financial statements for such periods.
