ITEM 4.01  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

 

On September 8, 2004, the Audit Committee of Provena Foods Inc. (the “Corporation”) dismissed KPMG LLP and engaged Cacciamatta Accountancy Corporation as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and the subsequent interim period through September 8, 2004, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.

 

The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the financial statements of the Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and the subsequent interim period through September 8, 2004, neither the Corporation nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Cacciamatta Accountancy Corporation regarding 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 Corporation’s financial statements.
