Item 4.01 Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On February 8, 2008, the Board of Directors of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation ("Seaway Valley Capital") dismissed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company, P.A. ("Rosenberg Rich") from its position as Seaway Valley Capital's independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit report of Rosenberg Rich on Seaway Valley Capital's financial statements for the period from inception, January 14, 2006, through December 31, 2006 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about Seaway Valley Capital's ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report of Rosenberg Rich for the period from inception, January 14, 2006, through December 31, 2006 did not contain any other adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or qualification other than the explanatory paragraph noted above. Rosenberg Rich did not, during the applicable periods, advise Seaway Valley Capital of any of the enumerated items described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
Seaway Valley Capital and Rosenberg Rich have not, during Seaway Valley Capital's two most recent fiscal years or any subsequent period through the date of dismissal, had any disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to Rosenberg Rich's satisfaction, would have caused Rosenberg Rich to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
Seaway Valley Capital has requested Rosenberg Rich to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Rosenberg Rich agrees with the statements in this 8-K. A copy of that letter is filed as exhibit 16 to this 8-K.
On February 8, 2008, Seaway Valley Capital retained the firm of Dannible & McKee, LLP to audit Seaway Valley Capital's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. Dannible & McKee rendered an audit report on the financial statements of Wisebuys Stores, Inc. for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 that was included in a current report on Form 8-K filed by Seaway Valley Capital. Dannible & McKee also rendered an audit report on the financial statements of Patrick Hackett Hardware Company, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 that was included in a current report on Form 8-K filed by Seaway Valley Capital. However, at no time during the past two fiscal years or any subsequent period did Seaway Valley Capital consult with Dannible & McKee, LLP regarding any matter of the sort described above with reference to Rosenberg Rich, any issue relating to the financial statements of Seaway Valley Capital, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered for Seaway Valley Capital.
