Item 4.01    Change  in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
 
On December 5, 2013, Whitley Penn LLP (“Whitley”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Calpian, Inc. (the “Company”), which resignation was accepted and ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 12, 2013.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Whitley’s reports on the Company’s financial statements did not contain, except for a “going concern” qualification applicable only to the fiscal year end December 31, 2011, an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the subsequent interim periods through December 12, 2013, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and Whitley on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Whitley, would have caused Whitley to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements; and (ii) there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
 
On December 13, 2013, the Company provided Whitley with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 4.01 on this Form 8-K, and has requested that Whitley furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of the letter, dated December 16, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On December 12, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the engagement of Montgomery Coscia Greilich LLP (“Montgomery”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the subsequent interim periods through December 12, 2013, the date of engagement of Montgomery, the Company did not consult with Montgomery regarding either (i) 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; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
