ITEM 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

On June 13, 2018, Zenergy Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Montgomery Coscia Greilich LLP (“MCG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was the result of a request for proposal process in which the Company’s Board of Directors conducted a comprehensive, competitive process to select the independent registered public accounting firm, and which action was ratified by the Board of Directors.

 

MCG issued an audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for each of the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which reports did not contain any adverse opinion, an disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to audit scope, or accounting principles. Such audit report included substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods from January 1, 2018 through June 13, 2018, (i) there were no disagreements with MCG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has requested MCG to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the disclosure herein. A copy of that letter is filed as exhibit 16.1 to this current Report on Form 8-k.

 

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

 

On June 13, 2018, the Board of Directors engaged Evans & Knauth PLLC (“EK”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2018 through June 13, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted EK regarding either (i) 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 nor oral advice was provided to the Company that EK concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event , each as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
