SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, DC 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported) November 12, 2001 TELCO-TECHNOLOGY, INC. (Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter) Delaware 0-28887 22-3328734 (State or other jurisdiction (Commission (I.R.S. Employer of incorporation or File number) Identification organization) Number) 60 Bowers Lane Closter, New Jersey 07624 (Address of principal (Postal Code) executive offices) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (201) 768-2310 Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. Effective as of November 12, 2001, Telco-Technology, Inc. (the "Company") engaged Malone & Bailey, PLLC as its principal independent accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2001. For either of the past two fiscal years, the report of the former independent accountants, Kempisty & Company, P.C., contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for a "going concern" opinion issued in their report for the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the date hereof, there were no disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountants would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. The change in the Company's independent accountants was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors determined that the Company's auditing needs could be handled by Malone & Bailey, PLLC as efficiently and more economically compared to the former accounting firm. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent period prior to engaging Malone & Bailey, PLLC, neither the Company nor, to the best of the Company's knowledge, anyone acting on the Company's behalf, consulted Malone & Bailey, PLLC 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 either a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with the former accountant or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Company has requested Kempisty & Company, P.C. to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated November 13, 2001, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.
