Item 4.01     Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On October 29, 2015, PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), dismissed Farber Hass Hurley LLP (“FHH”) as its principal accountant and on October 30, 2015 the Company engaged Armanino LLP (“Armanino”) as its principal accountant. The change in accountants was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by FHH.

 

FHH’s report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company's fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 and the subsequent interim period through October 29, 2015, there were no disagreements with FHH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to FHH’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such period.

 

During the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 and the subsequent interim period through October 29, 2015, there were no “reportable events” (defined below) requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. As used herein, the term “reportable event” means any of the items listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided FHH with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that FHH review such disclosures and provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of FHH’s letter addressed to the SEC relating to the statements made by the Company in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

During the Company’s fiscal years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 and the subsequent interim period through October 30, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Armanino regarding either: (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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Armanino 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 either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event.
