The report of Weaver dated April 10, 2017 with respect to the balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, equity and cash flows for the two-year period ended December 31, 2016, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through February 5, 2018, the Company has not had any disagreements with Weaver on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Weaver
'
s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company
'
s financial statements for such periods.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through February 5, 2018, there have been no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Weaver with a copy of this disclosure set forth under this Item 4.01 and was requested to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.
A copy of the letter from Weaver is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1

'
s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Grant Thornton concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
(2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
