4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Hogan
& Slovacek, P.C., the firm that has served as our independent registered
public accounting firm, announced that it is combining with the firm of Tullius
Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP, on January 7, 2009. As a result,
Hogan & Slovacek has resigned as our accounting firm and our audit committee
has approved the engagement of the successor firm, which is named HoganTaylor
LLP. The respective employees, partners and shareholders of the
merged firms have become employees and partners of HoganTaylor which will
continue the practices of each of the merged firms. Hogan &
Slovacek will remain in existence solely for the purpose of winding up its
affairs but will not engage in any public accounting practice.
While
HoganTaylor is technically a new firm, because it is a successor firm to our
prior accountants, we do not consider this a substantive change of accounting
firms. Also, as this is a newly created firm, there have been no
pre-engagement consultations or contacts with HoganTaylor.
The
reports of Hogan & Slovacek regarding our financial statements for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 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 years
ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, and during the period from October 1, 2008
through January 7, 2009, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements
with Hogan & Slovacek on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hogan & Slovacek would
have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in connection with its
report.
We
provided Hogan & Slovacek with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K
prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested
that Hogan & Slovacek furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities
and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with above statements and, if
it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of
the letter, dated January 8, 2009, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is
incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form
8-K.
