Item 304(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-B requires you to disclose whether the former accountant`s report on the financial statements for either of the past two years contained an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles; and to describe the nature of each such adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, modification or qualification.
