Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On July 22, 2011, Tii Network Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, engaged KPMG, LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s principal accountants.
Marcum’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the subsequent interim period through the date hereof, there were no (i) disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report or (ii) reportable events described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of this Report and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respect in which it does not agree by the Company. The letter from Marcum is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Report.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the subsequent period through the date hereof, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted KPMG regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and no written or oral advice was provided that KPMG 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 either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or any reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Company has provided KPMG with a copy of this Report, requested KPMG to review the disclosures contained in this Report and provided KPMG with the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company’s expression of its views or the respects in which KPMG does not agree with the disclosures made in this Report. KPMG has advised the Company that it does not intend to furnish such a letter.
