Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On October 22, 2007, Senesco Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that the partners of Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP (“GGK”), became partners of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP in a limited asset purchase agreement and that its position as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company will cease upon completion of its procedures regarding the following: (i) the unaudited interim financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2007 and for the three month period ending September 30, 2007 and (ii) the Form 10-Q of the Company for the quarter ending September 30, 2007. The Company will file an Item 4.01 Form 8-K/A once such procedures are completed.
The Company anticipates that it will appoint McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm upon the completion of services by GGK and upon approval by the Company’s Audit Committee. Prior to the appointment as its independent registered public accounting firm, the Company has not consulted McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on any of the matters referenced in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2):
The audit reports of GGK on the consolidated financial statements of Senesco Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary as of and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. GGK’s 2007 report relating to GGK’s audit of Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included an emphasis paragraph relating to an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and through the date of this Current Report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and GGK on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GGK, would have caused GGK to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided GGK a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that GGK furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not GGK agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated October 24, 2007 furnished by GGK in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
