Other than an explanatory statement included in Ernst & Young LLP's audit report for the Company's fiscal year ended April 30, 2011 relating to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the audit report of Ernst & Young LLP on the Company's financial statements for the last two fiscal years ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's 2011 and 2010 fiscal years and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Ernst & Young LLP's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, and there were no reportable events as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the Company's 2011 and 2010 fiscal years and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company did not consult with Haskell & White LLP regarding any matters or reportable events as that term is described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided a copy of this disclosure to Ernst & Young LLP prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K and has requested that they furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein, and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. A copy of the letter dated September 6, 2011 furnished by Ernst & Young LLP in response that that request, stating its agreement, is filed herewith as Exhibit 16. 1.
