ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective January 7, 2020, Benjamin & Young, LLC ("B&Y") was dismissed as the
independent registered public accounting firm of I-ON Digital Corp. (the
"Company"). The Company's Board of Directors approved the dismissal of B&Y.
B&Y's reports on the Company's financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through January 7, 2020,
there were no disagreements with B&Y on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of B&Y, would have caused it
to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial
statements for such years. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
and through January 7, 2020, there were no matters that were either the subject
of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a
reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided B&Y with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested
B&Y to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether or not B&Y agrees with the disclosures. A
copy of B&Y's letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On January 8, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors, acting in the capacity of
an audit committee, engaged Benjamin & Ko ("B&K") as the Company's new
independent registered public accounting firm to act as the principal accountant
to audit the Company's financial statements. During the Company's fiscal years
ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and through January 8, 2020, neither the
Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with B&K regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed
transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided that
B&K concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a
decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
