ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On April 5, 2007, Moss Adams LLP, RadNet Inc.'s independent registered
public accounting firm, indicated that it will not stand for re-election as
auditors for the year ending December 31, 2007. Moss Adams LLP will complete the
audit for the two-month transition period ended December 31, 2006, and will
review the Registrant's interim consolidated financial statements included in
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
The audit reports of Moss Adams on the Registrant's financial statements
for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and 2006 contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Moss Adams'
report for 2006 included separate paragraphs stating the following:
"As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements
to correct its accounting for leasehold improvements;" and
"As described in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective November 1, 2005, the Company changed its method of accounting
for share-based payment arrangements to conform to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123R, Share-Based Payment."
In connection with Moss Adams' audits for the fiscal years ended October
31, 2005 and 2006 and through April 16, 2007, there were no disagreements with
Moss Adams 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 Moss Adams, would have caused Moss Adams to
make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with
its reports.
During the course of the audit for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005
and 2006, the Registrant and Moss Adams determined that the consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the quarterly unaudited financial statements for these years and for the first
quarter ended January 31, 2006 contained errors related to the recording of the
depreciation expense of leasehold improvements and therefore could not be relied
upon and that the related auditor reports of Moss Adams LLP with respect to
these consolidated financial statements should also no longer be relied upon.
The consolidated financial statements were restated for the fiscal years ended
October 31, 2005 and 2004, and were adjusted for the quarterly unaudited
financial statements for these years and for the first quarter ended January 31,
2006.
At October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2006, the Registrant concluded that a
material weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting
existed. This material weakness was due to insufficient personnel resources and
technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve the
following non-routine accounting matters, the recording of non-typical
cost-based investments and unusual debt-related transactions and the appropriate
analysis of the amortization lives of leasehold improvements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The incorrect accounting for the
foregoing was sufficient to lead management to conclude that a material weakness
in the design of internal control over the accounting for non-routine
transactions existed at October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2006.
The Registrant has provided Moss Adams with a copy of this report and has
requested that Moss Adams provide a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the foregoing statements.
