Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On August 8, 2012, the Board of Directors of Eastern Resources, Inc. (the “Registrant”) dismissed Sherb & Co., LLP, as the Registrant’s independent registered public accountants, and the Board of Directors approved the engagement of Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC to serve as the Registrant’s independent registered public accountants. Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC was engaged on August 8, 2012.

 

Sherb & Co., LLP issued its audit report on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010; their report on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2011, included an explanatory paragraph as to the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Other than the going concern uncertainty described above, the audit report of Sherb & Co., LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, and through the date of the dismissal of Sherb & Co., LLP, there have been no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Sherb & Co., LLP 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 Sherb & Co., LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the consolidated financial statements for such years.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, and through the date of the dismissal of Sherb & Co., LLP, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Registrant requested Sherb & Co., LLP to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  The requested letter has been furnished and is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, and through the date of the engagement of Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC, neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC regarding either:

 

·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 Registrant’s financial statements, and neither was a written report provided to the Registrant nor was oral advice provided that Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or

 

·Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event, as each term is defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K, respectively.
