Item 4.01
Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a)    Effective January 2007, Epstein, Weber & Conover, PLC ("Epstein Weber") combined its practice with Moss Adams LLP ("Moss Adams") and therefore resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for National Scientific Corporation (the "Company"). According to information provided to the Company, all of the partners of Epstein Weber have become partners of Moss Adams. The effective date of the resignation as regards the Company was January 26, 2007.
 
The reports of Epstein Weber on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 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, with the exception of an explanatory paragraph in the opinion related to the financial statements indicating substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, (1) there were no disagreements with Epstein Weber on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Epstein Weber, would have caused Epstein Weber to make reference to the matter in its report and (2) there were no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Item 304").
 
(b)    Effective January 26, 2007, the Company was in discussions with several prospective new audit firms in order to select the one best able to serve as the new independent registered public accounting firm ("New Auditor") for National Scientific Corporation. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company expects to announce the appointment of a new independent registered public accounting firm within the next 5-10 business days.
 
During the fiscal years ended September, 2006 and 2005, and during all subsequent periods through the date of this filing, the Company has not consulted any of the prospective new independent registered public accounting firms regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement with its former accountants or a reportable event as those terms are defined in Item 304.
 
The Company has authorized and requested Epstein Weber to respond fully to the inquiries of any New Auditor.
