Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On October 10, 2013, Annec Green Refractories Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, GHP Horwath, P.C. (“GHP”) effective immediately. The dismissal was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company.
In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and through October 10, 2013, there were (i) no disagreements with GHP 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 GHP would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their report; (2) no "reportable events" as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except certain material weaknesses in the internal controls over financial reporting as disclosed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
GHP’s report on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The Company has provided GHP with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and has requested that GHP furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter, dated October 16, 2013, indicating that it is in agreement with such disclosures is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
On October 10, 2013, the Company engaged Goldman Kurland and Mohidin, LLP (“GKM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accountant effective immediately. The engagement was approved by the Board. Prior to October 10, 2013, the Company did not consult with GKM LLP regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (3) written or oral advice provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, 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 has authorized GHP to respond fully to any inquiries of GKM.
