Re: CNE Group, Inc. (the "Company");
Form 8-K filed April 11, 2005; File No. 1-09224
Dear Mr. Maulbeck:
This will confirm our telephone conversation yesterday relating to your letter
to Anthony S. Conigliaro, Chief financial Officer of the Company, in which you
referred to the above captioned Form 8-K. I informed you that I am counsel to
the Company and confirmed that the disclosure by the Company in Item 4.01 (a)
(i), that it had dismissed Rosen Seymour Shapps Martin & Company LLP ("RSSM") as
its independent certified public accountants, was accurate. I noted that in
RSSM's letter dated April 7, 2005 attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K and
addressed to the Commission, RSSM acknowledged its agreement with the statements
contained in the first three paragraphs of Item 4 (a) of the Form 8-K, which
included the Company's statement that it had dismissed RSSM. I also noted that
RSSM stated in its letter that it had informed the Company it could not complete
the audit of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 "for
filing with the Commission by April 15, 2005." For this reason, the Company was
forced to terminate RSSM's retainer and seek other accountants who could
complete the audit of the financial statements in a timely manner. Based on this
information you indicated to me that it would not be necessary for the Company
to amend its Form 8-K.
The Company has authorized me to state to you that it acknowledges that (i) the
Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in its
filings; (ii) staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the Commission
from taking any action with respect to the filing; and (iii) the Company may not
assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission
or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
