Item
4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On
November 1, 2008, Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP (“GH&B”)
resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of AeroGrow
International, Inc. (the “Company”). GH&B
recently entered into an agreement with Eide Bailly LLP (“Eide
Bailly”), pursuant to which Eide Bailly acquired the operations of
GH&B. Certain of the professional staff and shareholders of
GH&B joined Eide Bailly either as employees or partners of Eide Bailly and
will continue to practice as members of Eide Bailly. Concurrent with
the resignation of GH&B, the Company, through and with the approval of its
Audit Committee, engaged Eide Bailly as its independent registered public
accounting firm as of November 1, 2008.
The
report of GH&B on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
In
connection with the audit for the past two fiscal years and through November 1,
2008, there were no disagreements with GH&B 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 GH&B,
would have caused GH&B to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company’s financial
statements.
