Item 4.01.       Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a)       Resignation of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

     (i)       On December 28, 2004, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Verilink Corporation (“Verilink”).

     (ii)       The report issued by PwC on the financial statements of Verilink for the years ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except that PwC’s report on Verilink’s financial statements for the years ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003 contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that substantial doubt exists about Verilink’s ability to continue as a going concern.

     (iii)       During each of the years ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003 and through December 28, 2004, there were no disagreements between Verilink and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years; and there were no “reportable events” as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring during the years ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003 and through December 28, 2004.

     (iv)       Verilink has provided PwC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that PwC review such disclosures and furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PwC agrees with such statements. A copy of PwC’s letter response to such request is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.

(b)       Engagement of Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC

     On December 28, 2004, Verilink retained Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC (“EKSH”), Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to retain EKSH as Verilink’s independent registered public accounting firm was made by the Audit Committee of Verilink’ Board of Directors on December 28, 2004. Verilink engaged EKSH to audit Verilink’s financial statements for the year ending July 1, 2005. During the years ended July 2, 2004 and June 27, 2003 and through December 28, 2004, neither Verilink or anyone on Verilink’s behalf has consulted with EKSH regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Verilink’s financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as that term is used in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
