Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On March 25, 2014, McGladrey LLP (“McGladrey”) advised First National Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) that it will not seek reappointment as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. McGladrey has agreed to perform review services through the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. The Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company has instituted a search for an independent registered public accounting firm to replace McGladrey for the year ending December 31, 2014.

 

McGladrey’s reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 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. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and from January 1, 2014 through March 25, 2014, there were no disagreements between the Company and McGladrey on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladrey would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and from January 1, 2014 through March 25, 2014, there have been no “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided McGladrey with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K and has requested that McGladrey furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter from McGladrey dated March 28, 2014 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(d)     Exhibits.

 

16.1     Letter of McGladrey pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K dated March 28, 2014.
