Item 4.01 Change In Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 9, 2006, as recommended by our Audit Committee and approved by our
Board of Directors, we terminated our relationship with Weinberg & Co., P.A.
("Weinberg") as the auditor for Advanced Communications Technologies, Inc.
Effective January 11, 2006, we engaged Berenson LLP ("Berenson") to serve as the
independent public accountants to audit our consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.
Weinberg's reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2004 and 2005 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, except that Weinberg's reports on our consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005 did
contain a modification paragraph that expressed their substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
During our past two fiscal years and the interim period through January 9, 2006,
we had no disagreements with Weinberg on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to Weinberg's satisfaction, would have caused
Weinberg to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report. During our past two fiscal years and the interim
period through January 9, 2006, Weinberg did not advise us of any of the matters
specified in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B.
During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005, and the interim
period through January 11, 2006, we have had no consultations with Berenson
concerning: (a) the application of accounting principles to a specific
transaction or the type of opinion that might be rendered on our financial
statements as to which we received oral advice that was an important factor in
reaching a decision on any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
(b) any disagreements, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
The appointment of Berenson as independent public accountants was recommended by
our Audit Committee and was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors.
