Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed on March 21, 2002 to include exhibit
16.1, Letter of S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. re: Change in Certified Public Accountants,
and to clarify certain other matters.
a. Effective March 21, 2002, Emclaire Financial Corp. (the Corporation)
dismissed and replaced its independent auditors, S.R.Snodgrass, A.C.
(Snodgrass) with Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP (Crowe Chizek). Snodgrass'
report on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements during the
two most recent fiscal years preceding the date hereof contained no adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinions, and was not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to
change accountants was approved by the Corporation's Audit Committee.
During the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to the
date hereof, there were no disagreements between the Corporation and
Snodgrass on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Snodgrass, would
have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with its reports. None of the "reportable
events" described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B occurred with
respect to the Corporation within the last two fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period to the date hereof.
b. Effective March 21, 2002, the Corporation engaged Crowe Chizek as its
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. During
the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to the date
hereof, the Corporation did not consult Crowe Chizek regarding any of the
matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation
S-B.
The Corporation has requested Snodgrass to furnish it with a letter addressed to
the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements.
