Item 4.01. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On September 7, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Peak International Limited (the Company) approved a change in the Companys independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. The Board of Directors ratified the Audit Committees dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) and the selection of BDO McCabe Lo & Company (BDO McCabe) as the Companys independent public accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
The reports of PWC on the Companys consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 and through September 7, 2004, there were no disagreements between the Company and PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to PWCs satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years. In addition, during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 and through September 7, 2004, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided PWC with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that PWC provide a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not PWC agrees with the above statements. Upon receipt of the letter from PWC, the Company will file an amended Form 8-K to include such letter as an exhibit.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 and through September 7, 2004, the Company did not consult BDO McCabe with respect to 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 Companys consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
