Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On May 26, 2009, Sangui Biotech International, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by its certifying accountant Moore & Associates, Chartered (“Moore & Associates”) that they were resigning as they were discontinuing audit and review services for issuers with foreign operations.
On May 26, 2009, subsequent to the above notification, Moore & Associates responded to the Company that it was their intention to remain the Company’s certifying accountant until such time as the Company had engaged a new independent registered accounting firm.
On August 3, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of the accounting firm of Mantyla McReynolds, LLC (“Mantyla McReynolds”) as its independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.
This change in independent accountants did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by Moore & Associates.
The audit reports of Moore & Associates on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 and the subsequent interim period prior to such dismissal, there were (1) no disagreements with Moore & Associates on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Moore & Associates, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such periods to the subject matter of the disagreement, and (2) no reportable events.
Moore & Associates has furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter is included as exhibit 16.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
