ETHOS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
Item 4.01. Change in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On June 15, 2009, M&K CPAS, PLLC (MKC) was appointed as the registered independent public accountant for Ethos Environmental, Inc. (the Registrant), a Nevada corporation. On June 15, 2009, Moore & Associates, Chartered (Moore), was dismissed as the registered independent public accountant for the Registrant. The decisions to appoint MKC and dismiss Moore were approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant on June 15, 2009.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (June 15, 2009), there were no disagreements with Moore 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 Moore, would have caused Moore to make reference thereto in its report on the Registrants financial statements for such years. Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B occurring within the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (June 15, 2009).
The audit report of Moore for the financial statements of the Registrant as of December 31, 2008, which audit report also includes the financial statements as of December 31, 2007, contained a separate paragraph stating:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $51,029,259, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of MKC (June 15, 2009), neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf consulted MKC regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements. Further, MKC has not provided written or oral advice to the Registrant that was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
In addition to the above, the PCAOB revoked the registration of Moore on August 27, 2009 because of violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality control standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and non-cooperation with the PCAOB investigation.
The registrant has requested that Moore and Associates, Chartered furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements in this amended report. As of the date of filing, Moore has not responded to such request.
