Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) On June 8, 2007, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors dismissed Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. (“Rothstein Kass”) as our independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.
Rothstein Kass’ audit reports on our consolidated financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and in the subsequent interim period ended March 31, 2007, there were no disagreements between us and Rothstein Kass on any matters 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 it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements for such year.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and in the subsequent interim period ended March 31, 2007, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Section 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We provided Rothstein Kass with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Rothstein Kass furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Rothstein Kass agrees with the above statements. A copy of Rothstein Kass’ letter dated June 8, 2007 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) On June 12, 2007, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors appointed Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and in the interim period ended March 31, 2007, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted with Grant Thornton LLP on any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
