Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On May 8, 2018, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) decided to dismiss Baker Tilly Virchow Krause LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective May 11, 2018. 

 

The audit reports of Baker Tilly on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and through May 11, 2018, there were (1) no disagreements with Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Baker Tilly, would have caused them to make reference to such disagreements in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such periods, and (2) no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The Company has provided Baker Tilly with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Baker Tilly furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The letter from Baker Tilly to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated May14, 2018 is attached as Exhibit 16 hereto.

If RSM does not accept retention as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Company will amend the Report. During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 11, 2018, the Company did not consult with RSM regarding any matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
