Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On April 19, 2016, MOJO Organics, Inc. (the “Company”) was informed by its independent registered public accounting firm, Cowan, Gunteski & Co., P.A. (“Cowan”), that it has transferred its SEC practice to MSPC, Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, a Professional Corporation (“MSPC”). As a result of the transfer and upon notice by Cowan to the Company on April 19, 2016, Cowan in effect has resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and MSPC became the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of MSPC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was ratified and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 21, 2016.

 

The audit reports of Cowan on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and through April 19, 2016, the Company did not consult with MSPC on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and MSPC did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that MSPC concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

 

In connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and through the date of this current report, there were no disagreements between the Company and Cowan on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cowan, would have caused Cowan to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

 

The Company has provided Cowan a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that Cowan furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Cowan agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated April 21, 2016 furnished by Cowan in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
