Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On April 12, 2022, we dismissed Zia Masood Kiani & Co. (“ZMK”) as our company’s independent principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements. The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors. Our company does not have a standing Audit Committee.
Our company’s independent principal accountant’s report on the financial statements for the year ended February, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with the exception that the reports dated April 9, 2021 contained the following explanatory paragraph: “The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern”.
During our company’s two most recent fiscal year and up to the date of dismissal of ZMK, there were: (i) no disagreements with ZMK on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of ZMK, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; and (ii) no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided ZMK with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested ZMK to furnish to our company a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of ZMK’s letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On April 12, 2022, we engaged FRUCI & ASSOCIATES II, PLLC as our new independent registered accounting firm with the approval of our board of directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of engagement, we have not consulted with FRUCI & ASSOCIATES II, PLLC regarding either:
1. The application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us nor oral advice was provided that FRUCI & ASSOCIATES II, PLLC concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2. Any matter that was either subject of disagreement or event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-K and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is explained in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-K.
