Notice of Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. (NTE) (the
Company) to the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to Section
204.03 |
In accordance with Section 204.03 of the Listed Company Manual of the New
York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), we wish to advise you of the
following.
The Company solicited proposals from accounting firms and conducted an evaluation
process in connection with the selection of the Companys independent auditor for
the year ending December 31, 2009. Following this process, on April 15, 2009, the
Companys Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Audit Committee elected to
replace Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) as independent auditor for the Companys
year ending December 31, 2009 and appointed Moore Stephens to serve as the
Companys independent auditor for 2009.
DTTs audit reports on the Companys consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles. The audit reports of DTTs on the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 and 2008 did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
from January 1, 2009 through April 15, 2009,
(i) there were no disagreements between the Company and DTT on any matters
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of DTT, would have caused DTT to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in its report on the Companys consolidated
financial statements, and
(ii) there were no reportable events as that term is defined in Item
16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F (applicable to annual reports of foreign private
issuers for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009).
The Company has provided DTT with a copy of the foregoing statements and has
requested and received from DTT a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) stating whether or not DTT agrees with the above statements.
A copy of the letter from DTT is attached to this letter.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period from
January 1, 2009 through April 15, 2009, neither the Company nor anyone acting on
behalf of the Company, consulted Moore Stephens regarding any of the matters or
events set forth in Item 16-F(a)(2) of Form 20-F (applicable to annual reports of
foreign private issuers for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009).
The Company has provided Moore Stephens with a copy of the foregoing statements and
given Moore Stephens the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed
to the SEC containing any new information, clarification of the Companys
expression of its views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the above
statements. The Company has not received any such letter from Moore Stephens.
The Company will be furnishing this correspondence to the SEC under cover of Form
6-K promptly in accordance with the SECs Rules.
