Item
4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a)
Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On April
7, 2009, Thompson, Greenspon & Co., P.C. of Fairfax, Virginia declined to
stand for re-election as the independent registered public accounting firm for
Sutron Corporation (the “Company”). Sutron Corporation’s Board of Directors
approved the dismissal of Thompson, Greenspon & Co., P.C. as its
independent registered public accounting firm on April 7,
2009.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and through the date hereof,
between the Company and Thompson, Greenspon, there have been: (i) no
“disagreements” (as such term is 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; (ii) no “reportable events” (as such
term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K); and (iii) no adverse
opinions or disclaimer of opinions in the Company’s financial statements, nor
was any opinion qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principle.
The
Company has provided to Thompson, Greenspon a copy of the disclosures in this
Form 8-K prior to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
and requested that Thompson, Greenspon furnish it with a letter addressed to the
SEC stating that Thompson, Greenspon agrees with the Company's statements in
this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated April 7, 2009 to the SEC
furnished by Thompson, Greenspon in response to that request is filed as Exhibit
16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b)
Engagement of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
The Board
of Directors also ratified the Company’s selection of Yount, Hyde & Barbour,
P.C. (“Yount, Hyde”), a certified accounting firm in Winchester, Virginia, as
the Company's new independent registered public accounting
firm.
During
the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December
31, 2008, any subsequent interim period through April 7, 2009, the Company did
not consult with Yount, Hyde regarding the application of accounting principles
to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of
audit opinion that might be rendered by Yount, Hyde on the Company's financial
statements. Further, Yount, Hyde did not provide any written or oral
advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a
decision as to any such accounting, auditing or financial reporting or any
matter being the subject of disagreement or “reportable event” or any other
matter as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) or
(a)(1)(v).
