| Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
(a) Former Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On November 9, 2015, the RELM Wireless Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) and appointed another independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the change in the auditors. The Company has authorized BDO to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant.
The reports of BDO on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 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 fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and in the subsequent interim periods through November 9, 2015, there were no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the matter in its report.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and in the subsequent interim periods through November 9, 2015, there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Regulation S-K”).
The Company provided BDO with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested BDO to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of the letter furnished pursuant to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On November 9, 2015, the Company appointed Moore Stephens Lovelace, P.A. (“MSL”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and during all subsequent interim periods through November 9, 2015, the Company did not consult MSL regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” with its former accountants or a “reportable event” as those terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
