Item 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP has declined to stand for re-election as
Transtech Industries, Inc.'s (the "Company") independent certified public
accountants with respect to the audit of the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty,
LLP informed the Company it could not continue to satisfy the partner rotation
requirement promulgated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 given its current
staffing.
Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP had served as the Company's independent
certified public accountants for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003. Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP's audit reports for such years did
not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except for
a modification as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with the audit of the Company's consolidated financial
statements prepared for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003, and the review of the Company's quarterly financial statements
prepared for the three quarters of 2005, the Company had no disagreements with
Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP with respect to accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures of
the type discussed in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
The Company's board of directors has authorized the appointment of
WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. to serve as the Company's independent registered
certified public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2005, and to review
the Company's quarterly financial statements for the three quarters of 2006,
effective January 16, 2006.
During the fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
including the subsequent interim periods through January 16, 2006, the effective
date of Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP's withdrawal, and prior to the
appointment of WithumSmith+Brown, P.C., neither the Company, or anyone on its
behalf, consulted with WithumSmith+Brown, P.C. regarding any of the accounting
or auditing concerns stated in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-B.
The Company has provided Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP a copy of this
report prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Company requested Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP furnish a letter
addressed to the SEC stating whether Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP agrees
with the above statements. A letter from Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty, LLP is
attached as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
