Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01.
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Previous Independent Auditors:
(i) As previously reported, the Company was informed by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 4, 2011 that we may not include any audit report prepared by Larry O’Donnell, CPA, P.C. in any filings with the Commission. Because the Company has a registration statement on Form S-1 pending with the SEC containing audit reports prepared by Larry O’Donnell, CPA, P.C., we must obtain a re-audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 before the Form S-1 registration statement will be declared effective by the SEC.
As previously reported, Larry O’Donnell, CPA, P.C. had resigned as our independent accountant engaged as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements, and, as reported in our Form 10-Q filed on November 15, 2010, on November 1, 2010, the Company had engaged R.R. Hawkins and Associates International, a PC (“Hawkins”), as its independent public accounting firm to review our report for the period ended September 30, 2010 and to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Meanwhile, we were not able to negotiate mutually acceptable terms for the expense of two audits conducted simultaneously by Hawkins, in part because the Company has not paid Hawkins for its services to date, and Hawkins and the Company mutually elected not to continue the engagement as of approximately January 19, 2011.
(ii) Hawkins did not render an accountant’s report on the financial statements of the Company for any fiscal year.
(iii) In connection with its review of the Company’s financial statements during the Company's third quarter of 2010, there have been no disagreements with Hawkins 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 Hawkins would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
(iv) During the two most recent audit periods, and through the date of Hawkins’ election not to continue, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K.
(v) The Company requested that Hawkins furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. To date, we have not received Hawkins’ letter.
(b) New Independent Auditors:
On January 19, 2011, the Company engaged Robert L. White & Associates, Inc. as its registered independent public accounting firm. The independent accountant was engaged to audit the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, the Company has not consulted Robert L. White & Associates, Inc. regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as that term is used in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
