As noted by an 8-K filed by the Company on June 21, 2005, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") advised EACO Corporation by letter dated June 21, 2005 that it intended to resign as EACO Corporation's independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon conclusion of its review of EACO Corporation's interim financial information for the quarter ended June 29, 2005. By letter dated August 24, 2005 and received by the Company on August 26, 2005, Deloitte informed the Company that its resignation was effective immediately. The reports of Deloitte on EACO Corporation's financial statements for the past two fiscal years 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. During EACO Corporation's most recent two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through August 24, 2005, there were no disagreements with Deloitte 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 Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. During EACO Corporation's most recent two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through August 24, 2005, there were no "reportable events" as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation of S-K. EACO Corporation has provided a copy of this report to Deloitte and requested that it furnish EACO Corporation with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by EACO Corporation in response to this item and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.
