Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
UHY LLP (UHY), our independent registered public accounting firm, has informed us that effective April 16, 2010, its New England practice was acquired by Marcum LLP. UHY also informed us that, as a result of this transaction, it declines reappointment as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
UHY audited our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The audit reports of UHY on our financial statements for those years did not contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to any uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and subsequently to April 16, 2010, there were no disagreements with UHY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to UHY’s satisfaction, would have caused UHY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit reports nor were there any “reportable events” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
UHY has issued a letter dated April 20, 2010 addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that UHY agrees with the above statements. That letter is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
Our audit committee appointed Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm effective April 16, 2010. Prior to such appointment, the Company had not consulted with Marcum LLP with respect to: 1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; 2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or 3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
