(A) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Effective July 10, 2017 Friedman LLP (“Friedman LLP”) resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the period of engagement from January 1, 2010 through July 10, 2017, the auditor’s reports issued by Friedman did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, the audit reports as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did reflect uncertainties regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. During the referenced period, there were no disagreements between the Company and Freidman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Friedman’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedman to make reference to the matter in reports on the Company’s financial statements, had any such reports been issued. During the period of engagement, there were no reportable events as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant has provided Friedman with a copy of the disclosures in this report and the Company requested a letter from Friedman addressed to the Commission confirming the statements made by the Company in this report. A copy of that letter is attached as an exhibit to this report.

(B) New Independent Registered Pubic Accounting Firm.

Contemporaneous with the resignation of Friedman, the Company engaged KCCW Accountancy Corp. (“KCCW”) of Alhambra, CA, as its new independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2017, the Company did not consult with KCCW with respect to any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
