Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective January 18, 2023, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of MNP LLP Chartered Professional Accountants as the Corporation’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“MNP”).
MNP’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and the subsequent interim periods through December 31, 2022, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and MNP 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 MNP, would have caused MNP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided MNP with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) prior to the time the Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company requested that MNP furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of MNP’s letter, dated February 21, 2023, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On January 6, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed PLYMALE & GILLESPIE CPAS, PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
