Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Rothstein Kass & Company, P.C. ("Rothstein Kass"), the independent certified public accountants who had been engaged by TransCoastal Corporation (the "Company") as the principal accountant to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements, informed the Company that it must resign as the Company's auditor. The reports by Rothstein Kass on the consolidated financial statements of the Company during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent period up to June 17, 2014, the Company did not have any disagreements with Rothstein Kass 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 Rothstein Kass, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports. In addition, no reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K have occurred.

 

The Company has requested Rothstein Kass to furnish it a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from Rothstein Kass, dated June 17, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

The Company's Board of Directors approved Whitley Penn, LLP ("Whitley Penn") as the Company's new principal independent certified public accountants to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
