Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

 

As of May 31, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), and following completion of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company to STMicroelectronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (as reported on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2011), the Company terminated its relationship with its auditors, Sherb & Co., LLP (“Sherb”). Other than notification of inability to file timely reports, the Company has not filed any reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission since that time.

 

Effective May 31, 2013, the Company has retained Liggett, Vogt & Webb P.A. (“LVW”) as its auditors. The Board of Directors recommended and authorized the change.

 

Sherb's reports through May 31, 2010 (the date of the Company’s most recently filed 10-K) contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle except for an explanatory paragraph related to an uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There were no disagreements with Sherb as to any matter of accounting principle or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arkados, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements.

 

We have provided to Sherb a copy of the disclosures made in this Form 8-K and requested that Sherb furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with the above statements in this item relating to the relationship with Sherb and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

 

Sherb's letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K in accordance with Item 304(a)(3)of Regulation S-B.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Effective Date, the Company has not consulted with LVW on any matter that (i) involved 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 Company’s financial statements, in each case where a written report was provided or oral advice was provided that LVW concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
