Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant. |
On August 30, 2011, the Board of Directors of Sovereign Capital Management Group, Inc. (Sovereign), acting as the Audit Committee of Lakeside Mortgage Fund, LLC (the Company), of which Sovereign is the manager, (i) dismissed Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. (BPM) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) engaged Marcum LLP (Marcum) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and through August 30, 2011, there were no disagreements with BPM 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 BPM, would have caused BPM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Companys consolidated financial statements for such periods, had such reports been issued. BPM has issued no reports on any periods and since BPMs engagement in May 2008 and through August 30, 2011, there have been no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
It should be noted that, as reported in Amendment No. 2 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated May 9, 2008, prior management of the Company engaged BPM as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2008 and BPMs engagement was limited to the year ended December 31, 2008. However, prior management of the Company did not file an Annual Report on Form 10-K containing financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2009. In a continuing effort to rectify the failure of prior management of the Company to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company intends to file all required reports for all prior periods as soon as practicable.
The Company has requested that BPM furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
No consultations occurred between the Company and Marcum during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and through August 30, 2011, regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, or other written or oral information provided that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
