Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On November 5, 2009, Powersafe Technology Corp. (the “Registrant”) changed its principal independent accountants. On November 4, 2009, Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C. informed the Registrant that it no longer plans to perform audits for companies such as the Registrant and resigned as the Registrant’s principal independent accountants. On November 5, 2009 the Registrant retained Acquavella, Chiarelli, Shuster, Berkower & Co., LLP, (“ACSB”) as its principal independent accountants. The decision to retain ACSB was approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors. Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C. The former partner of Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C. who, to the Registrant’s understanding, had primary responsibility for auditing the Registrant, is now a partner of ACSB.

The Resignation of Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C.

Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C. was the independent registered public accounting firm for the Registrant’s from May 8, 2009 until November 4, 2009. None of Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C. reports on the Registrant’s financial statements from May 8, 2009 until November 4, 2009, (a) contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or (b) was modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, or (c) contained any disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period in which Morgenstern, Svoboda & Baer CPA’s P.C. served as the Registrant’s principal independent accountants.
