Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On May 18, 2009, Fitts, Roberts & Co., P.C. (“Fitts Roberts”) resigned as the independent auditor for Burzynski Research Institute (the “Company”).  Concurrently, the Board of Directors of the Company accepted the resignation of Fitts Roberts and approved the appointment of Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. (“PKF”) as the Company’s new independent auditor.

 

The report of Fitts Roberts on the financial statements for either of the two most recent fiscal years audited by Fitts Roberts (for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007) did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 and through the date of discontinuance of Fitts Robert’s engagement as the Company’s independent auditor, there were no disagreements with Fitts Roberts on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Fitts Roberts, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.

 

During the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 and through the date of discontinuance of Fitts Robert’s engagement as the Company’s independent auditor, there were no “reportable events” with the Company as described and outlined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has provided Fitts Roberts a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested from Fitts Roberts a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of Fitts Roberts’ letter to the SEC, dated May 21, 2009.
