Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On August 8, 2013 (the “Date of Resignation”), the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Socket Mobile, Inc. (the “Company”) accepted the resignation of Sam Kan and Company (“Sam Kan”) as Independent Registered Public Accountants. Sam Kan advised the Audit Committee that their firm will no longer be servicing public clients.

Sam Kan served as the Company’s independent registered public accountant for the year ended December 31, 2012. The appointment of Sam Kan was reported on Form 8-K dated February 26, 2013 and filed on March 4, 2013. The report of Sam Kan on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Sam Kan’s report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 included an explanatory paragraph noting that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and through the Date of Resignation, (i) there were no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Sam Kan on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sam Kan would have caused Sam Kan to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements. None of the “reportable events” described in Item 304((a)(1)(V) of Regulation S-K have occurred during the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and through the Date of Resignation.

The Company has provided Sam Kan with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Sam Kan provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Sam Kan agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of Sam Kan’s letter, dated August 12, 2013, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

On August 8, 2013, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC (“Sadler Gibb”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to perform audit services beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and through August 8, 2013, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Sadler Gibb regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the financial statements of the Company or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
