Previous
Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
|
On
January 7, 2010, Datawatch Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed Deloitte &
Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the
Company. The dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP was approved by
the Company’s Audit Committee.
The
reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the Company’s financial statements as of
and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During
the Company’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and through January
7, 2010 there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused them to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports on the
financial statements for such years. During the Company’s fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 and through January 7, 2010 there were no reportable
events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company furnished a copy of the disclosures herein to Deloitte & Touche LLP
and requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish it with a letter addressed
to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with
the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated January 8, 2010, is filed as
Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

New
Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
|
On
January 7, 2010, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged UHY LLP as its new
independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial
statements for the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. The decision
to engage UHY LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm
was the result of a competitive selection process.
Prior to
the engagement of UHY LLP, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the
Company consulted with UHY LLP during the Company’s fiscal years ended September
30, 2009 and 2008 and through January 7, 2010, in any manner regarding any of
the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation
S-K.
