Item 4.01                      Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 
On July 21, 2010, Symbollon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that effective July 20, 2010, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (“McGladrey”) acquired certain assets of Caturano and Company, Inc. (formerly Caturano and Company, P.C.), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“Caturano”), and substantially all of the officers and employees of Caturano joined McGladrey. As a result, on October 28, 2010, Caturano resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating plans for the successor auditor.
 
The audit report of Caturano on the financial statements of the Company for the period ending December 31, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified to the uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that it did contain an explanatory paragraph disclosing the uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
During the most recent fiscal period ended December 31, 2009 and through October 28, 2010 there were: (1) no disagreements between the Company and Caturano on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Caturano would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (2) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company has provided Caturano a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and has requested that Caturano furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter dated October 28, 2010 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
