ITEM 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s
Certifying Accountant.
On October 1, 2009 (the “Notice Date”), Quaint Oak Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified that the audit practice of Beard Miller Company LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (“Beard”),
was combined with ParenteBeard LLC (“ParenteBeard”) in a transaction pursuant to which Beard combined its operations with ParenteBeard and certain of the professional staff and partners of Beard joined ParenteBeard either as employees or partners of ParenteBeard. As a result of the combination, on October 1, 2009, Beard resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, ParenteBeard
was engaged as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
During the two years ended December 31, 2008 and from December 31, 2008 through engagement of ParenteBeard as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted ParenteBeard
with respect to any accounting or auditing issues involving the Company. In particular, there was no discussion with the Company regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, with Beard, or a “reportable event” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of the Regulation S-K.
Beard performed audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Beard’s reports 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 two years ended December 31, 2008, and from December 31, 2008 through the Notice Date, there were no (i) disagreements between the Company and Beard on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to its satisfaction, would have caused Beard to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its report, or (ii) “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company furnished Beard with a copy of this report prior to filing with the SEC and requested that Beard furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agreed with the statements made by the Company in this report
insofar as they relate to Beard’s audit services and engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Beard has furnished a letter addressed to the SEC dated October 5, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.
