Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

 

On February 18, 2013, our Board of Directors engaged Finesse CPA, P.C. (“Finesse”) as the Registrant’s certifying accountant to audit the registrant's financial statements, replacing its former certifying accountant, Kenne Ruan, CPA, P.C. (“Kenne Ruan”). Upon receipt of the notice that the Registrant’s acceptance of the proposal from Finesse to audit its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, Kenne Ruan resigned as the Registrant’s certifying accountant on February 18, 2013.

 

None of the reports of Kenne Ruan on the Registrant’s financial statements for either of the past two fiscal years contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the reports did contain a going concern paragraph. During the Registrant’s past two fiscal years and through February 18, 2013 there have been no disagreements or reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)) with Kenne Ruan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. .

 

During the two most recent years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and any subsequent interim period through February 18, 2013, the Registrant did not consult with Finesse regarding any matter described in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2), including (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, nor did Finesse provide written or oral advice to the Registrant that Finesse concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or; (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

The engagement of Finesse as the Registrant’s new certifying independent accountant was approved by the Board of Directors.

 

The Registrant provided Kenne Ruan with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K on February 18, 2013 and requested Kenne Ruan to furnish the Registrant with a copy of a letter addressed to the SEC (the “SEC Letter”) stating whether they agree with the statements made herein. The SEC letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
