Item
4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant
On July 16, 2010, Lihua International,
Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited (“Crowe”) as its principal accountant and
dismissed AGCA, Inc. (“AGCA”) from that role. The change
in accountants was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
In connection with the audit of the
Company’s financial statements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2010 and the subsequent interim period through July 16,
2010, (i) there were no disagreements with AGCA on any matter of
accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements, if not resolved to AGCA’s satisfaction, would have caused AGCA
to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as that term is described in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of
AGCA’s letter addressed to the SEC relating
to the statements made by the Company in this Current Report on Form
8-K.
During the Company’s most recent fiscal year and in the
subsequent interim period prior to July 16, 2010, the Company did not consult
with Crowe regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific
completed or contemplated
transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and
no written or oral advice was provided by Crowe that was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement or event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.
Item
8.01. Other Events.
On July
21, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Crowe
as its principal accountant. A copy of the press release is attached to this
Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
