In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended March 31, 2021, and in the subsequent interim period through November 9, 2021, there were no disagreements with the Former Accounting Firm on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accounting Firm would have caused the Former Accounting Firm to make reference to the matter in their report. A copy of resignation, dated November 11, 2021, is filed as Exhibit I.
