ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On November 12, 2004, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) resigned as the Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm for Orthodontix, Inc. (the “Company”).
Except as disclosed in the next sentence of this paragraph, the reports of PwC on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. As discussed in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company terminated its affiliation with all of its founding practices and intends to effect a merger, acquisition or other business combination with an operating company utilizing any combination of its common stock, cash on hand or other funding sources.
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and through November 12, 2004, there were no disagreements with PwC 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 PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and through November 12, 2004, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided a copy of the foregoing disclosure to PwC and has requested PwC to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.
