Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that the GBH CPAs, PC, the Company’s independent registered accounting firm combined its practice with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), an independent registered public accounting firm, effective July 1, 2018. As a result of GBH combining its practice with Marcum, on August 17, 2018, the Company accepted the resignation of GBH and engaged Marcum as its independent registered public accountants. The engagement of Marcum has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

 

Pursuant to applicable rules, the Company makes the following additional disclosures:

 

(a) GBH’s reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to  uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

(b) During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and through August 17, 2018, there were no disagreements with GBH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to GBH' satisfaction would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and through August 17, 2018, there were no events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

(c) During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and through August 17, 2018, the Company did not consult with Marcum with respect to any matter whatsoever including without limitation with respect to any of (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or an event of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided GBH with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested that it furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made therein.
