Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

 

On August 25, 2016, the Audit Committee of Solitron Devices, Inc. ("Solitron" or the "Company") appointed BDO USA, LLP ("BDO") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the fiscal year ending February 28, 2017.

 

As was previously disclosed by the Company on a Form 8-K filed on August 22, 2016, the practice of Goldstein Schechter Koch, P.A., which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, was combined with BDO and the professional staff and partners of GSK joined BDO either as employees or partners of BDO. As a result of the transaction, GSK resigned as Solitron's independent registered public accounting firm on August 16, 2016.

 

During the Company's two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of engagement of BDO, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted with BDO regarding (a) 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 Company's financial statements as to which the Company received a written report or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision on any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K.
