ITEM 4.01 | CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT |
______________________________________________________________________________
(a) On January 3, 2008, upon the authorization and approval of its board of directors, Newtech Resources Ltd. (“Registrant’) dismissed Jones Simkins, PC (“Jones Simkins”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of Jones Simkins on the financial statements of the Registrant as of and for the years ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such reports were modified to include an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt regarding the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, and through January 3, 2008, there were no disagreements with Jones Simkins on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Had there been any disagreements, not resolved to the satisfaction of Jones Simkins, such disagreements would have caused Jones Simkins to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Registrant’s financial statements for such periods.
The Registrant has requested that Jones Simkins furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated January 7, 2008 is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.
(b) On January 3, 2008, upon the authorization and approval of the board of directors, the Registrant engaged Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLP ("Chisholm") as its independent registered public accounting firm.
No consultations occurred between the Registrant and Chisholm during the years ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 and through January 3, 2008 regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, or other information provided that was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of disagreement or a reportable event requiring disclosure under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
