| INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT |
Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants. |
On May 21, 2008, the Registrant’s Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Beard Miller Company LLP (“Beard Miller”) as the Registrant's independent certifying accountant. Beard Miller’s report on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, as well as the interim period ended March 31, 2008, there were no disagreements or “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K between the Registrant and Beard Miller on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Beard Miller, would have caused them to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements or reportable events in connection with its reports.
On May 21, 2008, the Registrant’s Board of Directors selected S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. as its new independent certifying accountant. During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to the date hereof, the Registrant did not consult with S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
