EXPLANATORY NOTE
On February 17, 2012, T Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “February 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to report that, on January 25, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the decision to change accounting firms and empowered the Audit Committee Chairman to dismiss Weaver and Tidwell, LLP (“Weaver”) as its independent registered public accounting firm effective upon completion of Weaver’s agreed upon services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K amends the February 8-K to update the disclosures provided in the February 8-K through the completion of services by Weaver and to provide the disclosure required under Item 4.01(b) for the Company’s new accounting firm.
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the subsequent interim period preceding Weaver’s termination, there were no disagreements with Weaver on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Weaver would have caused Weaver to make reference to the subject matter of disagreements in connection with its reports. Weaver's audit report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. A copy of the disclosures contained in this Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K was provided to Weaver in accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company requested that Weaver furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) stating whether or not Weaver agrees with the above statements. A copy of Weaver’s letter to the Commission, dated April 13, 2012, is attached as an exhibit to this report.
(b) On April 13, 2012, the Company engaged BKD LLP (“BKD”) as its registered independent accounting firm, formally replacing Weaver. The Company will request shareholder ratification of the appointment of BKD as its independent registered public accounting firm at its 2012 annual meeting of shareholders.
During the two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period prior to engaging BKD, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted BKD regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 13, 2012.
