(a)     On July 23, 2012, ClearOne Communications, Inc. (the Company) replaced its independent registered public accounting firm, Jones Simkins, P.C. (Jones Simkins). The decision to replace Jones Simkins was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

Jones Simkins reports on the Companys consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and through July 23, 2012, there were no disagreements between the Company and Jones Simkins on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Jones Simkins satisfaction, would have caused Jones Simkins to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report for such years and subsequent interim periods; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K for such years and subsequent interim periods through July 23, 2012.

 

The Company has provided Jones Simkins with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of Jones Simkins letter, dated July 23, 2012, stating its agreement with the above statements is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and through July 23, 2012, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted McGladrey with respect to 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 Companys consolidated financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event as defined in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.
