Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Resignation of independent registered public accounting firm.
On June 1, 2013, Presidential Realty Corporation (the “Company”) was informed by its independent registered public accounting firm, Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP (“HRR”) that HRR has combined its practice (the “Merger”) with Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) effective as of June 1, 2013. As a result of the Merger, HRR effectively resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and Baker Tilly, as the successor to HRR following the Merger, became the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of Baker Tilly was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors on June 1, 2013.
The principal accountant’s reports of HRR on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the expression of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through the effective date of the Merger, there were no disagreements with HRR on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which if not resolved to HRR’s satisfaction would have caused HRR to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through June 1, 2013, there were no reportable events of the types described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Baker Tilly (as successor by merger of HRR) with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested Baker Tilly to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of the letter furnished by Baker Tilly, dated June 1, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm.
On June 1, 2013, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Baker Tilly as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of June 1, 2013.
Prior to June 1, 2013, the Company did not consult with Baker Tilly (the predecessor company) regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transactions, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (3) written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (4) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
