Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On February 22, 2013 (the “Engagement Date”), the audit committee of the board of directors of ACL Semiconductors Inc. (“the Company”) approved the engagement of Albert Wong & Co. LLP (“New Auditor”), an independent U.S. CPA firm which is associated with the Company's existing independent accountants, Albert Wong & Co. (“Previous Auditor”), who tendered its resignation on February 22, 2013 (the “Resignation Date”), as the Company’s new independent accountant.
The report of the Previous Auditor on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except to note that the Company had numerous significant related parties’ transactions. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through the Resignation Date, there have been no disagreements between the Company and the Previous Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the Previous Auditor’s satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through the Resignation Date, there were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided the Previous Auditor with a copy of this Report and the Company has requested that the Previous Auditor furnish a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements above. A copy of this letter is filed as an exhibit to this Report.
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and any subsequent interim period prior to the Engagement Date, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company's behalf consulted the New Auditor with respect to (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 consolidated financial statements, or any other matters (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 reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Item 8.01 Other Events
