Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Effective September 28, 2009, Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed UHY LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and appointed Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin LLP as our new independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee of our board of directors approved the termination of UHY LLP and the appointment of Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin LLP as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm.
On September 22, 2009, we closed on a merger with Gold Lion Holding Limited and simultaneous spin-out of our subsidiary, Zoom Telephonics, Inc., which had the effect of making the business of Gold Lion Holding Limited the primary business of the Company. Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin LLP had been the independent auditors of Gold Lion Holding Limited prior to the merger, and will now be our new independent auditors.
UHY LLP's report on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except for a modification for a going concern uncertainty.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through September 28, 2009, there have been no disagreements with UHY LLP (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) 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 UHY LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on our financial statements for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through September 28, 2009, there were no reportable events as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v).
We provided UHY LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested UHY LLP to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of UHY LLP's response letter, dated October 2, 2009, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through September 28, 2009, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company has consulted with Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin LLP regarding either:
1. The application of accounting principles to specified transactions, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither was a written report provided to the Company nor was oral advice provided that Goldman Parks Kurland Mohidin LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2. Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event, as each term is defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K, respectively
