Item 4.01 Changes In Registrant’s Certifying Accounts
1. Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
A. On March 18, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Registrant dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Gruber & Company, LLC (“Gruber”).
B. The report of Gruber for the years ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 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 going concern.
C. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant's board of directors on March 18, 2011, and on such date Hancock Askew & Co, LLP (“Hancock”) was engaged as the Registrant's new independent registered public accountants. The Registrant did not consult Hancock regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event in connection with its report on the Registrant’s financial statements.
D. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal (March 18, 2011), there were no disagreements with Gruber on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Gruber, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in connection with its reports. There were no "reportable events" in connection with its report on the Registrant’s financial statements.
E. The Registrant has made the contents of its Form 8-K available to Gruber and requested it to furnish a letter to the Commission as to whether Gruber agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to clarify the Registrant's expression of their views. Gruber has furnished the Registrant with such letter which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 16.1.
2. New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
The Registrant has engaged Hancock as its new independent certified public accounting firm to audit the Registrant’s financial statements December 31, 2010. Prior to such engagement and during the two most recent years or any subsequent interim period prior to engaging Hancock, neither the Registrant, not anyone acting on its behalf, consulted such firm on any of the matters regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
