Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

(a)              Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On February 27, 2018, Ridgefield Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “we”) dismissed Anton & Chia, LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss Anton & Chia, LLP was approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).

 

The audit reports of Anton & Chia, LLP on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the subsequent period through the date of dismissal, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and Anton & Chia, LLP 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 Anton & Chia, LLP, would have caused Anton & Chia, LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such fiscal years; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided Anton & Chia, LLP with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Anton & Chia, LLP furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Anton & Chia, LLP agrees with our statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated March 6, 2018, furnished by Anton & Chia, LLP in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b)              Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board approved the appointment of MaloneBailey LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, and the Company formally engaged MaloneBailey LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm on February 27, 2017.

 

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and through March 2, 2018, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with MaloneBailey LLP with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and MaloneBailey LLP did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that MaloneBailey LLP 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 the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a “reportable event” within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
