SECTION 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

 

ITEM 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On January 20, 2014, Southern States Sign (the “Company”), through and with the approval of its Board of Directors, informed Bompani Audit Srl (“Bompani”), that it was terminating Bompani as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of such date (the “Effective Date”).

 

Bompani was appointed as the Company’s independent registered public accountant firm on April 11, 2013. The report of Bompani on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or modification of opinion as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the period of time that Bompani served as the Company’s independent registered public accountant, there were no disagreements with Bompani, resolved or unresolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Bompani, would have caused Bompani to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

 

There were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K that occurred during the period of time that Bompani served as the Company’s independent registered public accountant.

 

The Company has requested that Bompani furnish it a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated January 20, 2014 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

On January 20, 2014, the Company, through and with the approval of its Board of Directors, engaged Crowe Horwath AS Srl (“Crowe”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not consult with Crowe regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by Crowe on the Company's financial statements, and Crowe did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

 

Furthermore, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, the Company has not consulted Crowe on any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event.
