SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On October 17, 2005, BDO Seidman, LLP (the "Former Accountant") resigned as the
independent registered public accounting firm for Cardima, Inc. (the "Company").
The Company engaged Marc Lumer & Company (the "New Accountant"), as its new
independent registered public accounting firm. The Company's decision to engage
the New Accountant was approved by its Board of Directors on October 18, 2005.
The reports of the Former Accountant on the financial statements of the Company
for each of the two most recent fiscal years, did not contain an adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles for the two most recent fiscal years,
except that the Former Accountant's opinion in its report on the Company's
financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years expressed substantial
doubt with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period through the date of resignation, there were no reportable events as the
term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period through the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with the
Former Accountant on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant would have caused it to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
reports on these financial statements for those periods.
The Company did not consult with the New Accountant regarding the application of
accounting principles to a specific 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 by the New Accountant
that was a factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.
The Company has requested that the Former Accountant furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements. The requested letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to
this amended Form 8-K
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial statements of business acquired.
Not applicable.
(b) Pro forma financial information.
Not applicable.
(c) Exhibits.

Number Description
16.1 Letter from Former Accountant dated as of September 22, 2005.
