ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

On December 19, 2012, KWCO, PC (“KWCO”) accepted the appointment as the registered independent public accountant for Santa Fe Petroleum Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Rothstein Kass (“RK”) was dismissed as the registered independent public accountant for the Company. The decisions to appoint KWCO and dismiss RK were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 19, 2012.

 

In connection with the audit and review of the financial statements of the Company through December 19, 2012, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with RK’s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.

 

In connection with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

Prior to December 19, 2012, the Company did not consult with KWCO regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to specified transactions, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (3) written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (4) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to RK prior to the date of the filing of this report and requested that RK furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Report. A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
