NOTICE OF CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
---------------------------------------
Bonso Electronics International Inc. ("BNSO" or the "Company") - March 24 -
announced today that PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC"), the Company's independent
auditor, after discussion with the Company's audit committee, has declined to
stand for re-election following completion of its audit of the Company's
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2008. The Company is in the
process of selecting a new independent auditor for the fiscal year ending March
31, 2009 with the approval and oversight of the audit committee. PwC
acknowledged and confirmed that the client-auditor relationship with the Company
has ceased in writing on March 13, 2009.
The reports of PwC on the financial statements of Bonso for the years ended
March 31, 2007 and 2008 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
There were no disagreements with PwC for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007
and 2008, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial
statements for such years. Additionally, there were no reportable events within
the meaning set forth in Item 304 of Regulation S-K in the two fiscal years as
aforesaid.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, neither Bonso nor any
other party on its behalf consulted with any other audit firms, regarding
matters that were or should have been subject to SAS 50, as amended by SAS 97,
or any subject matter of a disagreement or reportable event with PwC.
The Company provided to PwC this disclosure filed under the cover of Form 6-K.
