Section 7 – Regulation FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Registrant’s former accountant advised Registrant in early October, 2013, that its use of an independent consultant, who was subject to an SEC administrative order in March, 2010 barring the consultant from appearing or practicing as an accountant before the Commission, to assist in regulatory compliance relating to the preparation and filing of its financial statements, had caused the former accountant to conclude that it should not rely on the consultant for any accounting information regarding Registrant. The former accountant did not suggest or claim that any such accounting information regarding Registrant was incorrect or inaccurate. Registrant’s management was aware of and had reviewed the circumstances of the administrative order and had concluded that nothing in the administrative order or the related circumstances precluded Registrant’s use of the consultant for the limited purpose of regulatory compliance. The consultant is not, and has not been, an officer, director, employee, shareholder, or agent of Registrant, does not and has never, practiced or appeared before the Commission as an accountant and does not prepare or manage the financial reports of Registrant. All financial statements and reports are solely the responsibility of Registrant’s management.
The former accountant did not advise Registrant that this information, or any other information that has come to its attention, has impacted in any way the fairness or reliability of either (i) a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report . The former accountant also did not advise the Registrant that this information, or any other information that has come to its attention, has led the former accountant to no longer be able to rely on management’s representations, or that has made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management.
