Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On June 17, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Legacy Housing Corporation (the “Company”) approved the appointment of Weaver and Tidwell, LLP (“Weaver”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, which became effective on June 17, 2021, after completion of Weaver’s client acceptance procedures. BKD LLP (“BKD”) had declined to stand for reappointment as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Prior to the engagement of Weaver, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Weaver 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, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and 304(a)(1)(v), respectively.
The reports of BKD on the Company’s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the subsequent interim period through June 18, 2021, there were no (i) disagreements, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, with BKD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to BKD’s satisfaction, would have caused BKD to make reference thereto in its reports for such years and interim period or (ii) reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except as noted below.
During the audits for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, material weaknesses were identified in our internal control over financial reporting, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The material weaknesses were due to insufficient (i) accounting processes and procedures for certain accounts; (ii) experienced personnel to support preparation of financial statements; (iii) policies and procedures to ensure the appropriate review and approval of user access rights to our accounting system; and lack of approval of journal entries and segregation of duties in our financial reporting process; and (iv) safeguards in our information technology infrastructure required by the COBIT framework. BKD has discussed these matters with the Audit Committee, and the Company has authorized BKD to fully respond to any inquiries by Weaver concerning these matters.
The Company provided BKD with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BKD furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements contained herein. A copy of BKD’s letter, dated June 21, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Audit Committee took competitive bids for the 2021 audit and elected to award the engagement to Weaver and Tidwell, LLP.
