Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On January 7, 2009, Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP, the prior independent registered public accounting firm of Educational Development Corporation (the “Company”), and Hogan & Slovacek, P.C. merged their operations to become HoganTaylor, LLP (“HoganTaylor”).  The respective employees, partners and shareholders of the merged firms have become employees and partners of HoganTaylor which will continue the practices of each of the merged firms.  Consequently, HoganTaylor has assumed the role of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, as approved by the Company’s audit committee.

 

As this is a combination of the two existing accounting firms and their respective practices, there was no resignation of the predecessor firm.  Also, as this is a newly created firm, there have been no pre-engagement consultations or contacts with HoganTaylor.

 

The reports of Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  During the years ended February 28, 2007 and February 29, 2008 and during the period from February 29, 2008 through January 7, 2009, there were no disagreements with Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its report.

 

The Company provided HoganTaylor as the successor to Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that HoganTaylor, as such successor, furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of the letter, dated July 22, 2009, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
