Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Effective as of October 10, 2022, Liggett & Webb, P.A. ("Liggett & Webb")
resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm engaged to audit
the financial statements of the Company. Also on such date, the Company's Board
of Directors engaged Assurance Dimensions, Inc. to serve as its independent
registered public accounting firm to review its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
The reports of Liggett & Webb on the financial statements of the Company for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, did not contain any
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such reports
included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the
subsequent interim periods from January 1, 2022 through the date of this report,
there were no (a) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K) with Liggett & Webb on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to Liggett & Webb's satisfaction, would have
caused Liggett & Webb to make reference to the subject matter thereof in
connection with its reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as
described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and through the
date of this report, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has previously
consulted with Assurance regarding either (a) 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 was provided nor oral advice was provided to the
Company that Assurance concluded was an important factor considered by the
Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial
reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement
(as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph
304(a)(1)(v)) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Liggett & Webb with a copy of the disclosures it is making
in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Liggett & Webb a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees
with such disclosures. A copy of Liggett & Webb's letter dated October 10, 2022
is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
