ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On August 30, 2005, Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") filed a
Current Report of Form 8-K to disclose the resignation of BDO Seidman, LLP as
the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Effective October 24, 2005, the Company engaged Marcum & Kliegman LLP as its
independent registered public accounting firm to review the Company's quarterly
results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2005 and to audit its
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
engagement of Marcum & Kliegman was unanimously approved by the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors on October 13, 2005.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and
2004, and for the interim period through June 30, 2005, neither the Company nor
any person acting on its behalf has consulted with Marcum & Kliegman regarding:
(i) either 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, and either a written report was
provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that Marcum & Kliegman
concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a
decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii)
any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304
(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions to Item 304) or that
constituted a reportable event (as described in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K) with respect to the Company's financial statements.
