On July 7, 2016, the registrant engaged BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. BDO initiated its review of the registrant’s financial information for use in the registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 following the filing on August 12, 2016 of the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016. For further information on these matters, see the registrant’s Current Reports on Form 8-K dated July 11, 2016 and July 15, 2016. As a result of the preceding matters, a delay in the filing of the registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could not be avoided without unreasonable effort or expense. The registrant expects to file the Quarterly Report on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
