During the Company's the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the interim period through the effective date of DB's resignation, (i) there were no disagreements with DB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to DB’s satisfaction, would have caused DB to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such year, and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided DB with a copy of the foregoing disclosures to DB and requested that DB furnish a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
