Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On March 23, 2007, the Audit Committee of ML Macadamia Orchards, L. P. (“Partnership”) recommended and the Board of Directors approved the appointment of Accuity LLP (“Accuity”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Partnership, effective upon the completion of the services of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) related to the Partnership’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
PwC’s reports on the Partnership’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and 2005 and through March 23, 2007, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make a reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and through March 23, 2007, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Partnership has requested that PwC furnish it with a letter indicating whether or not PwC agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of such letter dated March 29, 2007 is enclosed as Exhibit 16.1.
