Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A of Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (the “Company”) is being filed to update the Company’s previous disclosure contained in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 11, 2015 regarding the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant |
Deloitte LLP (“Deloitte”) served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm until Deloitte issued its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, and on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. Deloitte issued such reports on February 22, 2016.
Deloitte’s audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that their reports for December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained explanatory paragraphs stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and through the date of this Current Report, there were (a) no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would cause Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years and (b) no reportable events as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company requested Deloitte to provide it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of Deloitte’s letter, dated February 22, 2016, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and through the date of this Current Report, the Company has not consulted with EY regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
