Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On April 29, 2011, the Board of Director’s of the First Hartford Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed CCR LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm and approved the appointment of J.H. Cohn LLP (“Cohn”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 

 

                CCR LLP audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009.  CCR LLP’s report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. 

 

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, and during the period from May 1, 2010 through and including April 29, 2011, there were no disagreements between the Company and CCR LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and there were no reportable events as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. 

 

The Company has provided CCR LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that CCR LLP furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. CCR LLP provided a letter dated April 29, 2011 stating its agreement with such statements. This letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

                During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, and through and including April 29, 2011, the Company had not consulted Cohn regarding: (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided that Cohn concluded was an important factor considered by the Company’s Board of Directors in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
