    On May 30, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of ANADIGICS, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed and engaged J.H. Cohn LLP, effective immediately, as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
 
    As a result of this appointment, J.H. Cohn LLP, rather than Ernst & Young LLP as originally contemplated in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2005, will be performing the SAS No. 100 review of the Company’s fiscal quarter ending July 2, 2005.

   The Company has requested E&Y to furnish it a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter dated June 2, 2005 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
