Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Dismissal of Grant Thornton LLP
On December 13, 2006, Eliason Funding Corporation, (the “Company”) dismissed Grant Thornton LLP (“GT”) as its independent accountants. The decision to dismiss GT was recommended and approved by the Company’s board of directors.
The audit reports of GT on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and the period from April 13, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2004, and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2006, there were no disagreements with GT 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.
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B occurred within the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 or within the period from April 13, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2004, or within the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2006.
A letter from GT is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
(b) Engagement of Wipfli LLP
On December 13, 2006, the Company engaged Wipfli LLP (“Wipfli”) as the Company’s independent public accountants. During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 or within the period from April 13, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2004, or within the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2006, the Company did not consult with Wipfli regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Wipfli concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B and the related instructions, or reportable event.
