Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Sun New Media, Inc. (the “Company”) has received notice from Moores Rowland Mazars (“MRM”), the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm, of its resignation, which was effective as of April 21, 2006. On April 21, 2006, the Company engaged Grant Thornton, Beijing as its new independent accountant.
MRM’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was the report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and through December 31, 2005, there were no disagreements with MRM, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to MRM’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with MRM’s report.
None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B occurred within the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005 and through December 31, 2005.
The Company provided MRM with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A letter from MRM is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
Grant Thornton will audit the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The change of auditors is effective April 21, 2006. The Company’s decision to hire Grant Thornton was approved by its board of directors. Prior to engaging Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent accountant, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Grant Thornton with respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the Company. In particular, there was no discussion with the Company regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement with MRM on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MRM, would have caused MRM to make reference to the matter in its report or would be a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
