Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
As previously disclosed on NutraCea’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2010, NutraCea approved the engagement of BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. Because NutraCea is the debtor and debtor-in-possession in Chapter 11 Case No. 2:09-bk-28817-PHX-CGC, which case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona (the “Bankruptcy Court”), the engagement of BDO was subject to prior approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Effective July 29, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court authorized and approved the engagement of BDO as NutraCea’s new independent registered public accounting firm.
Prior to engaging BDO on July 29, 2010, NutraCea has not consulted BDO regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements or a reportable event, nor did NutraCea consult with BDO regarding any disagreements with NutraCea’s prior auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the prior auditor, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
