Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
|
On September 20, 2010, Caturano and Company, Inc. (formerly Caturano and Company, P.C.) (“Caturano”) resigned as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm as a result of the July 20, 2010, acquisition by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (“McGladrey”) of certain of Caturano’s assets. On September 20, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Registrant’s board of directors appointed McGladrey as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
Caturano’s audit reports on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Registrant’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and through the date of Caturano’s resignation, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Caturano on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Caturano’s satisfaction, would have caused Caturano to make reference thereto in connection with its audit reports, and no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant provided Caturano with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Caturano furnish the Registrant a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Caturano’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
