Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

Effective September 1, 2012, Meeks International, LLC ("MIL"), the independent registered public accounting firm of Infusion Brands International, Inc. (the “Company”), was acquired by Thomas, Howell, Ferguson, P.A. (“THF”) in a transaction pursuant to which MIL merged its operations into THF and the professional staff and partners of MIL joined THF as employees with Charlie M. Meeks becoming a partner of THF. As a result of the merger, MIL effectively resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on September 1, 2012. The Board of Directors of the Company was advised of the merger and approved and ratified the engagement of THF, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective September 1, 2012.

 

MIL audited the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The reports of MIL on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion nor a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except MIL’s audit reports for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 stated that certain conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In connection with MIL's audits of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and through the interim period ended September 1, 2012, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and MIL on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MIL would have caused MIL to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company's financial statements; and  (ii) there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K

 

On September 7, 2012, the Company provided MIL with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 4.01 on this Form 8-K, and has requested that MIL furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter, dated September 7, 2012 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through September 1, 2012, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company's behalf consulted THF regarding either ( (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) .
