| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. |
(a), (b) The Audit Committee of Vapor Corp. (the “Company”) recently completed a competitive process to determine what firm would serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2016. On December 29, 2016, the Audit Committee determined to dismiss Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.
The report of Marcum on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report included an explanatory paragraph with regard to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, and through December 29, 2016, there were no (a) disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Marcum's satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports for such years; or (b) reportable events, as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Marcum a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Marcum's letter dated January 5, 2017 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
