Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
 
Item 4.01.
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a)
Previous Independent Accountants
 
(i)          On March 23, 2009, Berkovits & Company, LLP (“Berkovits”) was dismissed as American Petro-Hunter’s (the “Company”) independent accountant.
 
(ii)         Berkovits’ report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 contained a modified opinion on the uncertainty of the Company to continue as a going concern because of the Company’s dependence on outside financing, lack of sufficient working capital and recurring losses.

(iii)        The Company’s Board of Directors approved the decision to change independent accountants.
 
(iv)        During the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and further through the date of dismissal of Berkovits, there have been no disagreements with Berkovits on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement if not resolved to the satisfaction of Berkovits, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their report as required by Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
 
(v)         During the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and further through the date of dismissal of Berkovits, Berkovits did not advise the Company on any matter set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K.
 
(vi)        The Company requested that Berkovits furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
 
(b)
New Independent Accountants
 
On March 23, 2009, the Company engaged Weaver & Martin, LLC (“Weaver”) as the Company’s new independent accountants to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and further through the subsequent interim periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, the Company did not consult with Weaver regarding (i) 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 Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Weaver concluding there was an important factor to be considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
