Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On June 24, 2002, Interlink Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP (“Andersen”) as its principal accountant. Andersen served as the Company’s principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Andersen’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 (the “Reports”) did not contain any adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the subsequent interim period through June 24, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its Reports. During the term of Andersen’s engagement, there were no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K).
A letter from Andersen addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report of Form 8-K. Such letter states that Andersen agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.
The Audit Committee is interviewing other auditing firms and plans to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as soon as possible.
