Item 4.01.  Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On January 28, 2014 the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Hauppauge Digital Inc. (“Hauppauge Digital Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) determined to dismiss BDO USA, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.  Effective January 28, 2014, our Board approved the appointment of Grassi & Co. (“Grassi”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the reports of BDO USA, LLP on our financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that BDO USA, LLP’s audit report for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 stated that certain conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and that the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and through the filing date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, (i) there were no disagreements with BDO USA, LLP 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 BDO USA, LLP, would have caused BDO USA, LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on our financial statements for such periods or any subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and through the filing date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted with Grassi & Co. with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (ii) any other matters or reportable events of the nature described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.

 

We provided BDO USA, LLP with a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and requested that BDO LLP, USA furnish to us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K.  A copy of the letter, dated January 30, 2014 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
