Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 5, 2009, Frederick's of Hollywood Group Inc. (the "Company") was
notified that, effective December 31, 2008, the shareholders of Mahoney Cohen &
Company, CPA, P.C. ("MC"), the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm, became shareholders of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. pursuant to an
asset purchase agreement and that, as a result thereof, MC has resigned as
independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. The New York
practice of Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. now operates under the name MHM Mahoney
Cohen CPAs. The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has engaged
MHM Mahoney Cohen CPAs to serve as the Company's new independent registered
public accounting firm.
During the Company's fiscal year ended July 26, 2008 and through the date of
this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company did not consult with MHM Mahoney
Cohen CPAs regarding any of the matters or reportable events set forth in
Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The audit report of MC on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company as of and for the year ended July 26, 2008 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audit of the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended July 26, 2008 and through the date of this
Current Report on Form 8-K, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company
and MC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of MC, would have caused MC to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in their report on the Company's
financial statements for such year or for any reporting period since the
Company's last fiscal year end and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning
set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided MC a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and
has requested that MC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating whether or not MC agrees with the Company's
statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated January 6, 2009
furnished by MC in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.
