Changes In Registrants Certifying Accountant
|
On December 14, 2020, Cornick Garber & Sandler LLP (CGS), our independent registered public accounting firm,
provided notice to Mills Music Trust (the Trust) that effective December 31, 2020 it will cease to provide auditing services to public companies and as a result is resigning as our independent registered public accounting
firm. As of December 17, 2020, the trustees of the Trust approved the engagement of Hoberman & Lesser CPAs, LLP (Hoberman) as our new independent registered public accounting firm.
The audit reports of CGS on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, and through the subsequent interim period preceding
CGSs resignation, there were no disagreements between the Trust and CGS on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of CGS would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on our financial statements for such years.
During
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, and through the subsequent interim period preceding CGSs resignation, there were no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, and through the
subsequent interim period preceding Hobermans engagement, we did not consult with Hoberman on either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that
may be rendered on our financial statements, and Hoberman did not provide either a written report or oral advice to us that Hoberman concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue; or (2) 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.
We have provided CGS a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and we have requested that CGS furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with the statements contained in this Report. A copy of the
letter dated December 18, 2020 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
