Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
Resignation of CohnReznick LLP
On November 14, 2014, Power REIT (the “Company”) received the resignation of CohnReznick LLP (“CRZ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 13, 2014, the Company engaged CRZ as its independent registered public accounting firm on March 13, 2014. CRZ performed the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which were included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 1, 2014. CRZ has not issued any report on any financial statements of the Company that contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the subsequent interim period preceding CRZ’s resignation: (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and CRZ on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CRZ, would have caused CRZ to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
On November 17, 2014, the Company provided CRZ with a copy of the disclosures it is making above in response to Item 4.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and requested that CRZ furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with those disclosures. A copy of the resulting letter from CRZ, dated November 20, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
