Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (BCCI)

Not sure what PCAOB can do at this point; their role is to oversee auditors of public companies, as I understand it, and right now we don't have audited financials therefore PCAOB has no BCCI auditor to oversee.

However, the CPA himself, Charles Klein, Managing Partner of DKM Certified Public Accountants, is now well aware that his name is shown as "Accountant or Auditor" by BCCI in the published Q1 2014 financial statements which have been stamped 'AUDITED,' but which fail to contain an auditors report.

If he were not to be shown as resigning in the next financial report, then PCAOB might well want to have discussion with him, since it seems to me a CPA should not be OK with this circumstance.

As a comment -- this accountant and his firm were new as of the 2013 annual report, covering Q4 and the rest of the year. He is based in Clearwater, FL; quite possibly he was referred by Mark Schaftlein, the managing member of South Florida Coffee Company, BCCI's 49% partner in the two open Cape Coral stores, or perhaps by others involved with SFCC.

Which reminds me -- anyone know the status of the third SW Florida store, announced on January 22, 2014 as opening 'early in second quarter'? Indeed, in that PR, Mr. Schaftlein spoke about moving forward with 'additional locations,' suggesting at least a fourth store.
