| Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant |
Effective September 10, 2009, the client auditor relationship between Epic Energy Resources Inc. (the "Company") and Malone & Bailey, PC ("M&B") was terminated as M&B was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm and replaced by M&K CPAS, PLLC ("M&K"). Effective September 10, 2009, the Company engaged M&K as its principal independent public accountant for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. The decision to change accountants was recommended, approved and ratified by the Company's Board of Directors effective September 10, 2009.
M&B's report on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than the inclusion of an explanatory paragraph discussing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and any subsequent interim periods through the date the relationship with M&B ceased, there were no disagreements between M&B and the Company on a matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of M&B would have caused M&B to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company's financial statements.
There have been no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and any subsequent interim periods through the date the relationship with M&B ceased.
The Company has authorized M&B to respond fully to any inquiries of any new auditors hired by the Company relating to their engagement as the Company's independent accountant. The Company has requested that M&B review the disclosure and M&B has been given an opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company's expression of its views, or the respect in which it does not agree with the statements made by the Company herein. Such letter is filed as an exhibit to this Report.
The Company has not previously consulted with M&K regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (iii) a reportable event (as provided in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and any later interim period, including the interim period up to and including the date the relationship with M&B ceased (however, one of the current partners of M&K was employed by M&B during the Company's engagement of M&B and for our audit by M&B of the year ended December 31, 2006). M&K has reviewed the disclosure required by Item 304 (a) before it was filed with the Commission and has been provided an opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company's expression of its views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304 (a). M&K did not furnish a letter to the Commission.
