ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
 
Effective March 9, 2010 (“Date of Dismissal”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Select Comfort Corporation (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  Also effective March 9, 2010, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending January 1, 2011 (subject to the completion of Deloitte’s customary client acceptance procedures).
 
KPMG’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the 2009 fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such report contained a separate paragraph that stated:
 
“As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (included in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), and SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (included in FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments), on December 30, 2007 and FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (included in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes), on December 31, 2006.”
 
KPMG’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the 2008 fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report contained the following qualification:
 
“The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations and inability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations and sustain operations raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”
 
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 and the subsequent interim period through the Date of Dismissal, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements for such years.  Further, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring within the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the Date of Dismissal.
 
The Company provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested KPMG to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the foregoing disclosures and, if not, stating the
 
 
2
 

 
 respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of KPMG’s letter furnished in response to this request is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
 
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the Date of Dismissal, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Deloitte regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.
