Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant.
(a)
Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm
On June
22, 2009, Taitron Components Incorporated (“the Company”) dismissed Haskell
& White LLP (“H&W”) as its independent registered public accounting
firm. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the decision to dismiss H&W. The dismissal of H&W
followed the decision of the Company to seek competitive proposals from
independent auditing firms to audit the financial statements of the Company.
H&W’s
audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 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. During
the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007
and the subsequent period through the date of this report, there were: (i) no
disagreements between the Company and H&W 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 H&W,
would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with their reports, and (ii) no “reportable events”
as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company provided H&W with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this
Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”) prior to the time the Report was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company
requested that H&W furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or
not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of H&W’s
letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
(b)
Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm
On June 22, 2009 the
Company engaged Anton & Chia, LLP as its independent registered public
accounting firm. During the
Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 and the subsequent interim period through the date of
this report, the Company did not consult with Anton & Chia,
LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of
Regulation S-K.
