Item 4.01               Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On May 1, 2012, as directed by its Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (“the Audit Committee”), Cyalume Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Grant Thornton LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm.  The audit report of Grant Thornton LLP 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. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 were audited by CCR LLP. Grant Thornton LLP subsequently succeeded to the practice of such firm.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and through the period ended May 1, 2012, there have been no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP or with CCR LLP 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 Grant Thornton LLP would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in their report on the financial statements.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and through the period ended May 1, 2012, there have been no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company notified Grant Thornton LLP about its decision and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with the above statements.  A copy of such letter, dated May 3, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
