ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Effective August 16, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors of QNB Corp. (the "Registrant") engaged S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. of
Wexford, Pennsylvania to replace KPMG LLP as the independent public accountants
to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Registrant and its
subsidiary, The Quakertown National Bank (the "Bank"). The change in accountants
was approved by the Audit Committee following the dismissal of KPMG LLP on
August 16, 2004 as the independent public accountants of the Registrant.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ending December
31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and through August 16, 2004 there were no
disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreement, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to
make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement.
The audit report of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements
of the Registrant and its subsidiary for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,
and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. During that period, there were no "reportable events" within the
meaning of Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933.
The Registrant has requested that KPMG LLP furnish a letter addressed
to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether KPMG LLP agrees with
the above statements. A copy of that letter is attached as Exhibit 16 to this
Form 8-K.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and through August
16, 2004, the Registrant has not consulted S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. regarding the
application of accounting principles, either contemplated or proposed, the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements
or any other matters that would be required to be reported herein.
