Changes in Registrant’s
Certifying Accountants
On
January 24, 2011, Fushi Copperweld, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed its principal
independent accountant, Frazer Frost, LLP (“Frazer”). The decision to
dismiss Frazer as the Company's principal independent accountant was approved by
the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors on January 10,
2011. Frazer's report on the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles. During the period from January 1, 2008 through
the date of Frazer's dismissal, there were no disagreements with Frazer 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 Frazer, would have caused Frazer to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the
financial statements for such period. None of the reportable events
described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the period
from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009 or through the date of this
report. The Company has provided Frazer with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures, and Frazer has furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the statements made by the
Company herein, attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
On
January 24, 2011, the Company engaged KPMG as its new principal independent
accountants, effective immediately upon the dismissal of Frazer. The decision to
engage KPMG as the Company's principal independent accountants was approved by
the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors on January 10, 2011.
During the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009, and through
the date of the KPMG’s engagement , the Company did not consult with KPMG
regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii)
of Regulation S-K.
