INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
On July 2, 2013, MSB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) dismissed ParenteBeard LLC (“ParenteBeard”), as the Company’s auditors and, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, on July 2, 2013, appointed BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The reports of ParenteBeard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and during the interim period from the end of the most recently completed fiscal year through the date of their dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements with ParenteBeard on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of ParenteBeard would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports on the Company’s financial statements; and (ii) no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(2)(v) of Regulation S-K).
 
The Company has provided ParenteBeard with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that ParenteBeard furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of ParenteBeard’s letter, dated July 5, 2013, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of the Company’s engagement of BDO, the Company did not consult with BDO regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written or advice was provided by BDO that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
