Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On December 20, 2004 Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein & Associates”) was dismissed as independent auditor of Colorado Wyoming Reserve Company (the "Company") in connection with the engagement of Arshad Farooq, CPA (“Farooq”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Hein & Associates' reports in the Company's 10-KSB for each of the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and all subsequent interim periods through March 31, 2002, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than reflecting an uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During each of the two (2) years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and all subsequent interim periods through March 31, 2002, 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 Hein & Associates’ satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
The Company requested Hein & Associates to furnish a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, stating whether they agree with the statements made by the Company in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of this letter will be filed by amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On December 20, 2004, the Company engaged Farooq as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004. During each of the two (2) years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and all subsequent interim periods through March 31, 2002, the Company did not consult Farooq on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) of Regulation S-B. During each of the two (2) years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and all subsequent interim periods through March 31, 2002, the Company did not consult Farooq on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-B.
The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 20, 2004.
