Item 4.01Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 1, 2021, the audit practice of Hall & Company Certified Public
Accountants and Consultants, Inc. ("Hall"), an independent registered public
accounting firm, was combined with Macias Gini & O'Connell ("MGO") in a
transaction pursuant to which Hall combined its operations with MGO, and certain
members of Hall joined MGO either as employees or partners of MGO. On January 7,
2021, Hall resigned as auditors of Quarta-Rad, Inc. (the "Company"), and MGO was
engaged as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Prior to engaging MGO, the Company did not consult with MGO regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed
transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by
MGO on the Company's financial statements, and MGO did not provide any written
or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in
reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of Hall regarding
the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and during the interim period
from the end of the most recently completed year through January 8, 2021, the
date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Hall on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Hall, would have caused Hall to make reference to such disagreement in its
report.
The Company provided Hall with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior
to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and
requested that Hall furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree,
the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated January 8,
2021 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to
this Current Report on Form 8-K.
