Item 4.01.    MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

 

On May 26, 2006, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of PRB Gas Transportation, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), dismissed Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC (“EKS&H”)as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee subsequently appointed Hein and Associates LLP as its independent registered accounting firm, detailed as follows.

 

The reports of EKS&H on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

 

The Company reported a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. This Annual Report indicated that as of December 31, 2005, the Company had a material weakness in that its staffing levels were inadequate to facilitate the design, implementation and maintenance of an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company reported that the remediation plan for this material weakness was still in process, and that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financing reporting as of March 31, 2006.

 

Except for the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in the preceding paragraph, during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, and through May 26, 2006, the Company did not have any reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has authorized EKS&H to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor independent registered public accounting firm concerning the subject matter of the material weakness described above.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and through May 26, 2006, there were no disagreements with EKS&H on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to EKS&H’s satisfaction, would have caused EKS&H to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years.

 

The Company has provided EKS&H with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that EKS&H furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of the letter from EKS&H to the SEC.

 

Engagement of Hein & Associates LLP

 

On May 31, 2006, the Committee engaged Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, and through May 26, 2006, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Hein regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
