These statements are subject to uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, demand and acceptance of services, changes in governmental policies and regulations, economic conditions, the impact of competition and pricing, and other risks defined in this document and in statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All such forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, and whether made by or on behalf of the Company, are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements and any other cautionary statements which may accompany the forward-looking statements.

ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

On June 22, 2011, the board of directors of American CryoStem Corporation (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Malcolm Pollard, Inc. (“Pollard”) as its independent registered public accounting firm, and engaged Donahue Associates, LLC (“Donahue”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit its financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011. The Company does not have an audit committee.

 

During Company's two most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not consult Donahue with respect to any of the matters described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

 

Pollard’s audit reports regarding the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to the uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that its audit reports for such fiscal years contained a going concern qualification.

 

The Company and Pollard have not, during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and subsequent interim period through June 22, 2011, had any disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to Pollard’s satisfaction, would have caused Pollard to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.

 

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the subsequent interim period through June 22, 2011, Pollard had not advised the Company of any of the enumerated items described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has requested that Pollard furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Pollard agrees with the statements made in this 8-K.  A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16 attached hereto.
