| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
Effective as of April 23, 2009, we dismissed J.H. Cohn, LLP (“JH Cohn”) as our independent accountants.
The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors on April 23, 2009.
As JH Cohn was not engaged by us to be the principal accountant to audit our financial statements until July 28, 2008, they have never audited any of our financial statements or issued a report in connection therewith.
From the date we hired JH Cohn through April 23, 2009, (i) there were no disagreements with JH Cohn on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of JH Cohn, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports and (ii) there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Effective as of April 23, 2009 we retained Davis Accounting Group, P.C. (“Davis Accounting”) as our new independent registered accounting firm. During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period prior to engaging Davis Accounting, we did not consult Davis Accounting regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
On April 23, 2009, we made the contents of this Current Report on Form 8-K available to JH Cohn and requested it to review the disclosure and to furnish us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as to whether JH Cohn agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify our expression of, our views, or containing any additional information. The Company is filing such letter herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
