Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
| | Dismissal of Independent Accountants
|
Effective as of June 2, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), Peterson Sullivan LLP (“P&S”) was dismissed as the independent registered public accounting firm of Americas Energy Company-AECo hereinafter, the “Registrant”.
P&S’s report on the Registrant’s financial statements for the past two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with the exception of a modification indicating there was substantial doubt that the Registrant would continue as a “Going Concern”.
The dismissal of the independent registered public accountants was approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors effective as of the Effective Date.
During the Registrant’s most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
During the Registrant’s most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, P&S did not advise the Registrant of any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) - (D) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant has requested P&S to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
Appointment of New Independent Accountants
|
Effective as of the June 2, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the engagement of Weaver & Martin, LLC (“W&M”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Registrant’s financial statements. The Registrant did not consult W&M on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K during the Registrant’s two (2) most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period prior to engaging W&M.
