(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On March 10, 2015, Schulman Lobel Zand Katzen Williams & Blackman LLP (formerly Schulman Wolfson & Abruzzo, LLP) (“Schulman”) was dismissed as the independent registered public accounting firm of alpha-En Corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Schulman.
Schulman’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that the reports of Schulman on the Company’s financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and through March 10, 2015 there were no disagreements with Schulman 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 Schulman, would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and through March 10, 2015, there were no matters that were either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Schulman with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested Schulman to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Schulman agrees with the disclosures. A copy of Schulman’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On March 10, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors, acting in the capacity of an audit committee, engaged Li and Company, PC (“Li”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to act as the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements. During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and through March 10, 2015, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Li regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided that Li concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
