Item 4.01 Changes In Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On June 24, 2013, Phillip Vogel & Co., P.C. (the “Former Auditor”) was dismissed as the independent registered public accounting firm for Aly Energy Services, Inc. (formerly Preferred Voice, Inc., the “Company”). The Former Auditor has served as the auditors of the Company’s financial statements for more than the past ten years.
The reports of Former Auditor on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, and for the transition period ended December 31, 2012, did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the Former Auditor’s dismissal, there were 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 the disagreements as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K in connection with any reports it would have issued, and there were no “reportable events” as such term is described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided the Former Auditor with a copy of the foregoing disclosure, and requested that the Former Auditor furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. A copy of the letter from the Former Auditor addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated as of June 24, 2013, is filed as an Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Effective June 24, 2013, UHY, LLP (“UHY”) was engaged to serve as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of UHY, as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the Former Auditor’s dismissal, the Company did not consult with UHY 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 financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as such term is described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K. UHY provided its audit report in respect of the financial statements of Aly Operating, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company acquired on May 14, 2013, and Austin Chalk Petroleum Services Corp., a subsidiary of Aly Operating, Inc., which were filed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K on May 15, 2013.
