Item 4.01.

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Acquisition of Certifying Accountant

On August 29, 2014, Frazier & Deeter, LLC (“Frazier & Deeter”) announced that two of the partners of Kingery & Crouse PA (“Kingery”), were joining Frazier & Deeter in its new Tampa office. Kingery had previously served as the independent registered public accountant for the registrant, NeoGenomics, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 13, 2014 (the “Engagement Date”), Kingery resigned as the auditors of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors approved the engagement of Frazier & Deeter to become the Company’s independent registered public accountant.

The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of Kingery on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the period covered by the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as well as during the subsequent interim period through the Engagement Date, there have been no disagreements with Kingery on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Kingery would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and during the subsequent interim period through the Engagement Date, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to Kingery prior to the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and requested that Kingery furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of such letter, dated October 15, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.

(b) Engagement of Successor Certifying Accountant

In connection with the Audit Committee’s approval as described herein above, the Company formally engaged Frazier & Deeter as the Company’s independent public accountant on the Engagement Date.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and during the subsequent interim period through the date of this Report, the Company did not consult with Frazier & Deeter regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Frazier & Deeter, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Frazier & Deeter would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).
