Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
KPMG LLP was previously the principal accountants for Optical Cable Corporation. On February 15, 2016, that firm was notified that they would not be reappointed and on February 16, 2016, Brown, Edwards & Company, L.L.P. (“Brown Edwards”) was engaged as principal accountants. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. During the two fiscal years ended October 31, 2015, and the subsequent interim period through February 15, 2016, there were no: (1) disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events. The audit report of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Optical Cable Corporation and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. A letter from KPMG is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
