Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Effective June 20, 2011, VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Goldman Kurland and Mohidin, LLP (the "Former Auditor") as its independent registered public accounting firm, and has engaged Hein & Associates LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The Company's Board of Directors unanimously made the decision to change independent accountants. As described below, the change in independent registered public accounting firm is not the result of any disagreement with the Former Auditor.
(a) Previous Independent Accountants
Effective June 20, 2011, the Company dismissed the Former Auditor as its independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of the Former Auditor on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements for 2010 and 2009, did not contain adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through June 20, 2011, there (a) have been no disagreements with the Former Auditor 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 the Former Auditor, would have caused the Former Auditor to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its reports on the financial statements for such years and (b) were no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has requested that the Former Auditor furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from the Former Auditor is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) New Independent Accountants
On June 20, 2011, the Company engaged Hein & Associates LLP (the "New Auditor"), as its independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011. The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously made the decision to engage the New Auditor.
The Company has not consulted with the New Auditor during its two most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent interim period prior to its appointment as New Auditor 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 consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
