Section 4 Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On June 2, 2005, TIMCO Aviation Services, Inc. (the Company) engaged Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton) to serve as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the 2005 fiscal year. Simultaneously, the Company dismissed the Companys current independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP. The decision to change accounting firms was approved by the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors.
KPMG LLPs audit reports on the Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and the interim period through June 2, 2005, there have been no disagreements between the Company and KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to KPMG LLPs satisfaction, would have caused KPMG LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its opinion on the Companys consolidated financial statements for such year, and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided KPMG LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of KPMG LLPs letter, dated June 6, 2005, stating its agreement with such statements.
The Company engaged Grant Thornton as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm as of the date set forth above. Prior to such date, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Grant Thornton, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
