Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On January 18, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Windes & McClaughry Accountancy Corporation (“Windes”) as our independent auditor, effective immediately, and notified them of such dismissal.

Windes audited our financial statements, including our balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and our related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows for the period from February 22, 2010 (inception) through June 30, 2012.  The audit report of Windes on our financial statements for the period stated above (the “Audit Period”) did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, but the reports of Windes, for the Audit Period contained an emphasis of a matter paragraph which indicated conditions existed which raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and through Windes’s dismissal on January 18, 2013, there were (1) no disagreements with Windes on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Windes, would have caused Windes to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports, and (2) no events of the type listed in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
We furnished Windes with a copy of this disclosure on or about January 16, 2013, providing Windes with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree. A copy of Windes’s letter to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
 
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Concurrent with the decision to dismiss Windes as our independent auditor, the Board of Directors appointed Hartley Moore Accountancy Corporation (“Hartley Moore”) as our independent auditor.

During the year ended June 30, 2012 and through the date hereof, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Hartley Moore with respect to (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 was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Hartley Moore concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.

A.
Except as expressly provided herein, DeCiccio, on his own behalf and on behalf of his heirs, spouse, executors, administrators, principals, agents, attorneys, parents and employees, as appropriate, (the “DeCiccio Releasing Parties”), in consideration for the transfer of the Termination Consideration, hereby releases and absolutely forever discharges DDOO, together with its administrators, principals, agents, attorneys, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, parents and affiliates, as appropriate (the “DDOO Released Parties”), individually and collectively, of and from any and all liabilities, claims, demands for damages, costs, indemnification, contribution, or any other thing for which they or any of them have or may have a known or unknown cause of action, claim, or demand for damages, costs, indemnification, or contribution, whether certain or speculative, which may have at any time prior hereto come into existence or which may be brought in the future in connection with any acts or omissions which have arisen at any time prior to the effective date of this Agreement and relating to DeCiccio’s work as an executive officer of DDOO (not as a Director since DeCiccio remains a Director of DDOO after this Agreement), including, but not limited to, any and all claims DeCiccio has or may have relating to, or arising out of the I/C Agreement, including but not limited to any claim for contractual interference, tortious conduct resulting in personal injuries, any claim for harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, ancestry, medical condition, marital status, physical or mental disability, or other protected class, discharge in violation of public policy and/or violation of any state and federal laws, including without limitation, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and their amendment, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act , the Fair Employment and Housing Act , the Americans with Disabilities Act , Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , as amended, The Fair Labor Standards Acts , as amended, the National Labor Relations Act , as amended, the Labor - Management Relations Act , as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 , as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , as amended, the Equal Pay Act , the Pregnancy Discrimination Act , the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 , as amended, and the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993.
 
 
B.
The DeCiccio Releasing Parties acknowledge the existence of and, with respect to the matters released pursuant to this Agreement, expressly waive and relinquish any and all rights and benefit they have or may have any applicable statute in the State of Texas similar in nature to California Civil Code, Section 1542, which provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
 
 
The DeCiccio Releasing Parties acknowledge that they are aware that they may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those which he or their attorneys now know or believe to be true with respect to the matters released in pursuant to this Agreement, and agree that the release so given pursuant to this Agreement, shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release of the respective claims, notwithstanding any such different or additional facts.  Further, DeCiccio and the DeCiccio Releasing Parties have read DDOO’s quarterly, annual, and current information reports on www.sec.gov, and understand DDOO and its current business.

5. 
Injunctive Relief.
 
DeCiccio   acknowledges that (a) compliance with the covenants contained herein are necessary to protect DDOO, or any one of its businesses, and DDOO believes that a breach by DeCiccio of any of such covenants may irreparably damage DDOO, or its businesses and, in such case, an award of money damages will not be adequate to remedy such harm.  Consequently, DeCiccio agrees that, in addition to other remedies contained herein and available to DDOO, in the event DeCiccio breaches or threatens to breach any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, DDOO injured party shall be entitled to both a temporary or permanent injunction to prevent the continuation of such harm, and  money damages, insofar as they can be determined, plus any amounts to which DDOO injured party is entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
6. 
Reasonableness .  
 
DeCiccio agrees that the covenants and restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable for protecting DDOO, and its respective businesses.  Further, DeCiccio   fully agrees and understands that this Agreement is not an unlawful restraint on trade or business and is within the scope of applicable Business & Professions Code in connection with the termination of the I/C Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that although DDOO considers the restrictions contained in this Agreement reasonable for the purpose of preserving their respective  businesses, goodwill and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against DDOO, the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as the maximum time and territory and to any other extent as a court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable. Further, DeCiccio considers the Termination Consideration fair and reasonable consideration for the DeCiccio Release and the termination of the I/C Agreement.
 
7.
Proprietary Information.
 
DeCiccio acknowledges that certain information, observations and data obtained by him during his work with DDOO (including, without limitation, projection programs, business plans, business matrix programs (i.e., measurement of business), strategic financial projections, financial information, shareholder information, product design information, marketing plans or proposals, personnel information, customer lists and other customer information) are the sole property of the DDOO and constitute Confidential Information of DDOO.

4.
Release and Indemnification .
 
 
A.
Except as expressly provided herein, Sandhu, on his own behalf and on behalf of his heirs, spouse, executors, administrators, principals, agents, attorneys, parents and employees, as appropriate, (the “Sandhu Releasing Parties”), in consideration for the transfer of the Termination Consideration, hereby releases and absolutely forever discharges DDOO, together with its administrators, principals, agents, attorneys, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, parents and affiliates, as appropriate (the “DDOO Released Parties”), individually and collectively, of and from any and all liabilities, claims, demands for damages, costs, indemnification, contribution, or any other thing for which they or any of them have or may have a known or unknown cause of action, claim, or demand for damages, costs, indemnification, or contribution, whether certain or speculative, which may have at any time prior hereto come into existence or which may be brought in the future in connection with any acts or omissions which have arisen at any time prior to the effective date of this Agreement and relating to Sandhu’s work with DDOO, including, but not limited to, any and all claims Sandhu has or may have relating to, or arising out of the I/C Agreement, including but not limited to any claim for contractual interference, tortious conduct resulting in personal injuries, any claim for harassment or discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, ancestry, medical condition, marital status, physical or mental disability, or other protected class, discharge in violation of public policy and/or violation of any state and federal laws, including without limitation, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and their amendment, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act , the Fair Employment and Housing Act , the Americans with Disabilities Act , Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , as amended, The Fair Labor Standards Acts , as amended, the National Labor Relations Act , as amended, the Labor - Management Relations Act , as amended, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 , as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , as amended, the Equal Pay Act , the Pregnancy Discrimination Act , the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 , as amended, and the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993.
 
 
B.
The Sandhu Releasing Parties acknowledge the existence of and, with respect to the matters released pursuant to this Agreement, expressly waive and relinquish any and all rights and benefit they have or may have under any applicable statute in the State of Texas similar in nature to California Civil Code, Section 1542, which provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
 
 
The Sandhu Releasing Parties acknowledge that they are aware that they may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those which he or their attorneys now know or believe to be true with respect to the matters released in pursuant to this Agreement, and agree that the release so given pursuant to this Agreement, shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release of the respective claims, notwithstanding any such different or additional facts.  Further, Sandhu and the Sandhu Releasing Parties have read DDOO’s quarterly, annual, and current information reports on www.sec.gov, and understand DDOO and its current business.
 
 
2

 
 
5. 
Injunctive Relief.
 
Sandhu   acknowledges that (a) compliance with the covenants contained herein are necessary to protect DDOO, or any one of its businesses, and DDOO believes that a breach by Sandhu of any of such covenants may irreparably damage DDOO, or its businesses and, in such case, an award of money damages will not be adequate to remedy such harm.  Consequently, Sandhu agrees that, in addition to other remedies contained herein and available to DDOO, in the event Sandhu breaches or threatens to breach any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, DDOO injured party shall be entitled to both a temporary or permanent injunction to prevent the continuation of such harm, and  money damages, insofar as they can be determined, plus any amounts to which DDOO injured party is entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 
6. 
Reasonableness .  
 
Sandhu agrees that the covenants and restrictions in this Agreement are reasonable for protecting DDOO, and its respective businesses.  Further, Sandhu   fully agrees and understands that this Agreement is not an unlawful restraint on trade or business and is within the scope of applicable Business & Professions Code in connection with the termination of the I/C Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that although DDOO considers the restrictions contained in this Agreement reasonable for the purpose of preserving their respective  businesses, goodwill and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against DDOO, the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as the maximum time and territory and to any other extent as a court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable. Further, Sandhu considers the Termination Consideration fair and reasonable consideration for the Sandhu Release and the termination of the I/C Agreement.
 
7.
Proprietary Information.
 
Sandhu acknowledges that certain information, observations and data obtained by him during his work with DDOO (including, without limitation, projection programs, business plans, business matrix programs (i.e., measurement of business), strategic financial projections, financial information, shareholder information, product design information, marketing plans or proposals, personnel information, customer lists and other customer information) are the sole property of the DDOO and constitute Confidential Information of DDOO.
 
8.
Nonadmission of Liability .
 
This Agreement, and the performance, does not constitute and will not be construed as an admission by Sandhu or DDOO of the truth of any contested matter, or of any liability, wrongful act, or omission.

9.
