ITEM 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
______________________________________________
On April 9, 2007, (the "Notice Date") the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors of Alliance Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania
(the "Company") notified Deloitte & Touche LLP that they had been
dismissed as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm, effective immediately.
On the Notice Date, the Audit Committee notified Beard
Miller Company LLP that they had been selected to serve as the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
Deloitte & Touche LLP performed audits of the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2006 and 2005. Deloitte & Touche LLP's reports did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
During the two years ended December 31, 2006, and from
December 31, 2006 through the effective date of Deloitte & Touche
LLP's termination, there have been no disagreements between the
Company and Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements would have
caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference to the subject
matter of such disagreements in connection with its report. None
of the "reportable events" described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, have occurred during the two years ended
December 31, 2006, or through the effective date of Deloitte &
Touche LLP's termination.
The Company requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish it
with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not
Deloitte & Touche LLP agreed with the statements made by the
Company set forth above, and if not, stating the respects in
which Deloitte & Touche LLP did not agree. The Company provided
Deloitte & Touche LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures.
Deloitte & Touche LLP has furnished a letter addressed to the SEC
dated April 9, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 16.
During the two years ended December 31, 2006 and from
December 31, 2006 through engagement of Beard Miller Company LLP
as the Company's independent accountant, neither the Company nor
anyone on its behalf has consulted Beard Miller Company LLP with
respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the
Company. In particular, there was no discussion with the Company
regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the financial statements, or any matter that was either the
subject of a disagreement with Deloitte & Touche LLP on
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not
resolved
2
to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused Deloitte &
Touche LLP to make reference to the matter in their report, or a "reportable
event" as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of the Regulation S-K promulgated by
the SEC.
