Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On July 5, 2013, UCP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed MartinelliMick PLLC (“MartinelliMick”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and engaged Rothstein Cass & Company, P.C. (“Rothstein Cass”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. MartinelliMick’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that, the audit report included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and during the subsequent interim period preceding the date of MartinelliMick’s dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements with MartinelliMick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, and (ii) no reportable events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Company has provided MartinelliMick with a copy of this disclosure and has requested that MartinelliMick furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not MartinelliMick agrees with the above statements. MartinelliMick has furnished the requested letter and it is attached as exhibit 16.1.

 

During the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and during the subsequent interim period preceding the date of Rothstein Cass’s engagement, the Company did not consult with Rothstein Cass regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements. The decision to dismiss MartinelliMick and engage Rothstein Cass has been approved by the Company’s board of directors.
