$MNTR Brings in New Accounting Firm for Medical MJ and Cannabis Business

Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTC Markets: MNTR) announced that it has engaged BF Borgers CPA PC as its new public accounting firm and has filed a Form 8-K with the SEC through the EDGAR system detailing this move to the Colorado based auditor. Mentor CEO Chet Billingsley observes, “Given our ongoing medical marijuana and cannabis focus, it made sense to move to an auditor in a state where many cannabis businesses are active and marijuana has been legalized at the state level. This further supports our earlier 2014 actions to progressively step up our reporting levels from limited information, to current information, and with the recent completion of two years of financial audits and an initial Form 10 filing, toward being fully reporting with the SEC.”

The Form 8-K, which indicates that there were no disagreements with the previous auditor, Albert Wong & Co. of New York and Hong Kong, nor any reportable events, can be referenced through the SEC’s EDGAR system at:
