Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.  

 

On January 10, 2012, the Registrant engaged Gumbiner Savett Inc. (“Gumbiner”) as the Registrant’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.  During the Registrant’s past two fiscal years, neither the Registrant nor any significant subsidiary has consulted with Gumbiner regarding any of the matters referenced in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

 

On January 11, 2012, the Registrant dismissed SingerLewak LLP (“SL”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant’s board of directors.

 

No report on the financial statements prepared by SL contained any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the time SL served as the Registrant’s principal accountant, there were no disagreements with SL on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of SL, would have caused SL to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its reports on the Registrant during such periods. None of the events as specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period that SL served as the Registrant’s principal accountant.

 

Annexed hereto as an exhibit is SL letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission agreeing with the disclosures contained herein pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.

 

 

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
