Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Microwave Filter Company, Inc. (the "Company") was notified on October 13, 2014 by its current independent registered accounting firm, EFP Rotenberg, LLP ("EFPR"), that EFPR will not serve as the Company's independent accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year 2015. The Company understands the basis for their decision is that EFPR has made a strategic decision to serve public companies in roles other than as the independent auditor. Therefore, EFPR's audit services will conclude with the issuing of the 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
EFPR has informed the Company that it will cooperate and assist with an orderly transition of audit firms when such takes place. The Company has undertaken a process to select a new independent registered accounting firm, and expects to have a new firm in place during the Company's fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014.
EFPR's reports on the financial statements of the Company for each of the past two fiscal years have neither contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor been qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the past two fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the date on which EFPR notified the Company that it will decline to stand for re-election, there were no disagreements with EFPR on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EFPR, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
The Company provided EFPR with a copy of the disclosures made in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that EFPR furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the disclosures. A copy of such letter, dated October 15, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
