ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN
REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On February 23,
2018, the Company dismissed Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC (“PSH”) as its independent registered
accounting firm and engaged Heaton & Company, PLLC, dba Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah, as its new independent
registered accounting firm.
Since PSH’s appointment as our independent registered
accounting firm on April 1, 2014 and through February 23, 2018, which included its audits of our financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and PSH on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction
of PSH, would have caused PSH to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable
events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided PSH with a copy of this Form 8-K and
requested that PSH furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PSH agrees
with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated February 23, 2018, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
During years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and in the
subsequent interim period through February 23, 2018, the Company has not consulted with Heaton & Company regarding either (i)
the application of accounting principles to a 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 nor oral advice was provided to
the Company that PSH concluded 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).
