Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On March 30, 2007, Amerigon Incorporated (the “Corporation”) engaged Grant Thornton LLP (the “New Auditors”) as the independent public accounting firm to audit the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2007. Prior to such engagement, neither the Corporation, nor anyone acting on the Corporation’s behalf, consulted with the New Auditors with respect to any matters concerning the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Corporation’s financial statements.
The Corporation provided the New Auditors with a copy of the above disclosure and gave the New Auditors an opportunity to prepare a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission containing new information, clarifications or an expression that the New Auditors do not agree with the above disclosure. The New Auditors have indicated to the Corporation that such a letter is unnecessary and will not be prepared as the New Auditors do not have any new information or clarifications concerning, and the New Auditors agree with, the above disclosure.
Sections 5-9. Not applicable.
