ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On March 19, 2007, Tufco Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm and engaged McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent registered accounting firms.
The audit report of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 and through March 19, 2007, there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report, and there were no reportable events as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 and through March 19, 2007, the Company did not consult with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP regarding any matters or reportable events as that term is described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided a copy of this disclosure to Deloitte & Touche LLP prior to the filing of this Form 8-K and has requested that they furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein, and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. The Company will file such letter as an exhibit to an amendment to this Form 8-K within two business days of its receipt of such letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP.
