Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Breeze-Eastern Corporation (the “Company”) was notified that its independent registered public accounting firm, Margolis & Company P.C. (“Margolis”), planned to combine its practice with the accounting firm of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) effective September 1, 2009 (the “Combination”). In anticipation of the Combination, Margolis resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective September 1, 2009.

On September 1, 2009, Marcum was formally engaged as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. The decision to retain Marcum as the Company’s independent public accounting firm following the Combination was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Company retained Margolis as its independent accounting firm on July 3, 2007, as disclosed on a Form 8-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by the Company on July 9, 2007. For the Company’s previous two fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (the “Fiscal Years”), Margolis served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm engaged to examine the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The reports of Margolis on the financial statements for the Fiscal Years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period from the engagement of Margolis through the date of the resignation of Margolis, including the Company’s most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Margolis, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Margolis, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

During the Fiscal Years and the subsequent interim period through the effective date of the Combination, Marcum did not advise the Company with respect to any of the matters described in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

The Company has requested Marcum to review the disclosure in this Report on Form 8-K before filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has provided Marcum the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company’s statements, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made in this Report on Form 8-K. Marcum has informed the Company that it has reviewed these disclosures and does not intend to furnish the Company with such a letter.

The Company has also provided Margolis a copy of the disclosures set forth above and has requested Margolis to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Margolis agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Report. The letter of Margolis is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.
