Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on a change in the registrant's certifying accountant and does not contain financial performance data.
Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the resignation of the Company's registered public accounting firm, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, effective April 2, 2019.
- Reason for Resignation: Baker Tilly concluded it was not independent under PCAOB and SEC rules because certain non-audit professionals provided personal tax services to a member of management in a financial reporting oversight role.
- Financial Reporting Impact: The resignation was not due to any issues related to the Company's financial reporting, accounting operations, policies, or practices.
- Historical Opinions: No audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2017, or 2016 contained adverse opinions, disclaimers, or qualifications regarding uncertainty, scope, or accounting principles.
- Disagreements: There were no disagreements between the Company and Baker Tilly on accounting principles, practices, or auditing scope during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, or through April 2, 2019.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing does not provide guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding future business performance. The only risk disclosed is the immediate need to secure a new independent registered public accounting firm following the resignation of Baker Tilly. Baker Tilly has agreed with the statements made in the report regarding the circumstances of its resignation.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the appointment of a new independent registered public accounting firm to replace Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP.
- Confirm that the independence issue was strictly related to personal tax services for a specific management member and not indicative of broader governance failures.
- Review subsequent filings to ensure no "reportable events" or disagreements arise during the transition of auditors.
