Introductory Note

 

The purpose of this report is to amend the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 10, 2005 (the “Initial Report”) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2006, which reported on the resignation of Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP, the former independent certified public accountants for Televideo, Inc. (the “Company”) and the resignation of Robert E. Larson as a director of the Company. This report amends the Initial Report to include the Company’s response to certain comments made by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Initial Report and to the include the letter from Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4.01.  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Effective January 23, 2006, Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP (“BPM”) resigned as the independent certified public accountants for TeleVideo, Inc. (“TeleVideo” or the “Company”).  The resignation of BPM was not approved by the TeleVideo Board of Directors.

 

BPM’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the two fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that (1) the report was modified to include an explanatory paragraph wherein BPM expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and noted that the Company did not maintain adequate accounting records needed in order to provide stock option financial statement disclosures that are required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and (2) was qualified in scope due to the failure to maintain such adequate records.. However, as a result of this departure from accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated, BPM noted there was no impact on the October 31, 2004 and 2003 consolidated balance sheets or the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit or cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2004.

 

During the Company’s two fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2004, as well as the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused BPM to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.

 

During the Company’s two prior fiscal years as well as the subsequent interim period, BPM did not advise the Registrant of any of the matters identified in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

 

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a letter from BPM addressed to the SEC, stating that it agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4.01.

 

Item 5.02.  Departure of Director

 

On November 10, 2005, TeleVideo received a letter of resignation from Robert E. Larson, a member of the TeleVideo Board of Directors, tendering his resignation from the board effective immediately.  Mr. Larson was also a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of the Directors.  A copy of the notice of resignation dated November 10, 2005 that Mr. Larson provided to the Company is filed with this report as Exhibit 99.1.  The resignation of Mr. Larson was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
