Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
On January 31, 2008, Polaris Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was notified that the partners of Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP (“GGK”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, became partners of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP in a limited asset purchase agreement and that, as a result thereof, GGK has resigned as independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.  McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was engaged as of January 31, 2008 as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The audit reports of GGK on the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and January 17, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from June 18, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, January 1, 2008 to January 17, 2008 and June 18, 2007 (inception) to January 17, 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that the audit report on the financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the period then ended included a going concern explanatory paragraph.
 
The decision to engage McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was approved by the Company’s audit committee.
 
During the period from June 18, 2007 (inception) to January 17, 2008 and through the date of this Current Report, the Company did not consult with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and McGladrey & Pullen, LLP did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that McGladrey & Pullen, LLP concluded 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 the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the period from June 18, 2007 (inception) to January 17, 2008 and through the date of this Current Report, there were: (i) no disagreements between the Company and GGK 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 GGK, would have caused GGK to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company has provided GGK a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K prior to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested that GGK furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not GGK agrees with the Company’s statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter dated January 31, 2008 furnished by GGK in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
