Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants
On July 14, 2008, The Inventure Group, Inc. (the “Company”) informed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) that Deloitte was being dismissed as the Company’s principal accountants, effective immediately. The decision to dismiss Deloitte was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
On July 15, 2008, the Company engaged Moss Adams LLP (“Moss Adams”) as its new principal accountants for the year ending December 27, 2008. The decision to engage Moss Adams was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
Deloitte’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, and in the subsequent interim period through March 29, 2008, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and; (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Report”) prior to the time the Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company requested that Deloitte furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Deloitte’s letter dated July 16, 2008 is attached as Exhibit 16.01 hereto.
In deciding to engage Moss Adams, the Audit Committee reviewed auditor independence issues and prior commercial relations with Moss Adams and concluded that Moss Adams has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the year ended December 27, 2008. During the years ended December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 and in the subsequent interim period through March 29, 2008, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Moss Adams on any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulations S-K.
