Item
4.01: Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Effective January 1, 2009, Miller,
Ellin & Company, LLP (“Miller Ellin”), the Registrant’s independent
certifying accountant and the principal accountant engaged to audit the
Registrant’s financial statements, consummated a merger of its practice into the
practice of Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP (“Rosen Seymour”),
with Rosen Seymour the resulting surviving legal entity. By virtue of
that merger, Rosen Seymour succeeded Miller Ellin as the
Registrant’s independent certifying accountants.
The audit report of Miller Ellin on the
Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
expressed an unqualified opinion. Such audit report did not contain
an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or qualification. During
the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and the period thereafter through
the date of the merger, there were no disagreements with Miller Ellin on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Miller Ellin, would have caused such entity to make reference to such
disagreements in its reports. During the Registrant’s two most recent
fiscal years and through the date of the merger, no “reportable events” (as
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) occurred that would be
required by Item 304(a)(1)(v) to be disclosed in this report.
During the Registrant’s two most recent
fiscal years and the period thereafter through the date of the merger, neither
the Registrant, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Rosen Seymour
regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific
completed or proposed transaction; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was
either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Rule 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or a
reportable event (as defined in Rule 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K).
The Registrant has requested Miller
Ellin and Rosen Seymour to review the disclosures contained in this report and
have asked each of them to furnish the Registrant with a currently dated letter
addressed to the SEC containing any new information, clarification of the
expression of the Registrant’s views or the respects in which it does not agree
with the statements made by it in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A
copy of each such letter is filed as an exhibit to this report.
