Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On June 21, 2012, NeuLion, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of E&Y on the Company’s financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, the Company has had no disagreements with E&Y 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 E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this report, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company provided E&Y with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC and requested E&Y to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements made by the Company. A copy of such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
The reason for the Company’s decision, which was made with the approval of its Audit Committee, to change its independent registered public accounting firm was to attempt to reduce the expenses that the Company, as a relatively small public company, has been incurring in connection with the annual audits and quarterly reviews of the Company’s financial statements, and the preparation of the Company's tax returns.
The Company is in the process of engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm.
