Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Effective as of July 13, 2007, we dismissed Li & Company, PC as our independent accountants. On July 25, 2007 we retained Li & Company to perform a review of the our financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007; provided that such review will not include a review of the financial statements of RxElite. Li & Company, PC had previously been engaged as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements. The reason for the dismissal of Li & Company, PC is that, following the consummation of the Merger on July 13, 2007 (i) the former stockholders of RxElite owned a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and (ii) our primary business unit became the business previously conducted by RxElite. The independent registered public accountant of RxElite was the firm of HJ & Associates, L.L.C. We believe that it is in our best interest to have HJ & Associates, L.L.C. continue to work with our business, and we therefore retained HJ & Associates, L.L.C. as our new independent registered accounting firm, effective as of July 16, 2007. HJ & Associates, L.L.C. is located at 50 West Broadway, Suite 600, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101.
The report of Li & Company, PC on our September 30, 2006 financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report was qualified as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors on July 13, 2007.
During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period from January 10, 2007 (the date of engagement of Li & Company, PC) through the original date of dismissal on July 13, 2007, there were no disagreements with Li & Company, PC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Li & Company, PC, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports.
We had made the contents of this Current Report available to Li & Company, PC and requested it to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC as to whether Li & Company, PC agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify our expression of, our views, or containing any additional information. A copy of Li & Company, PC’s letter to the SEC is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
As of July 16, 2007, HJ & Associates, L.L.C. was engaged as our new independent registered public accountants. The appointment of HJ & Associates, L.L.C. was approved by our board of directors. During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through July 16, 2007 (the date of engagement of HJ & Associates, L.L.C.), we did not consult HJ & Associates, L.L.C. regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
