This Prospectus Supplement No. 3 is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the Prospectus, including any supplement thereto.

a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm
On December 18, 2017, the Company dismissed Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of Marcum LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for each of the three most recent fiscal years 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 the audit report of Marcum LLP, dated December 20, 2016 on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and for the years ended June 2016, 2015 and 2014, noted certain restatements to give effect for errors in the classification of customer discounts and allowances as a reduction to revenue, measurement and recognition of share-based payments, the accounting for equity issued in connection with convertible debt and certain amounts reflected in the statements of cash flows. Further, the loss per share for each year was restated. In addition, the Company made certain revisions to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 and during the subsequent interim period through December 18, 2017, there were no disagreements with Marcum LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to Marcum LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except as follows: Material weaknesses were identified by Marcum LLP in some aspects of our internal control over financial reporting specifically surrounding the assessment of some certain significant transactions and properly performing certain reviews and monitoring controls in the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as promulgated by International Accounting Standards Board.
The Company provided Marcum LLP with a copy of the disclosures in this report prior to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A copy of Marcum’s letter dated January 18, 2018 to the SEC, stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this report, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
