Form 8-K for MICROVISION INC


3-Oct-2012

Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 4.01. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a) Following a competitive bid process, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of MicroVision, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. This action was taken with the goal of significantly reducing audit fees and lowering operating expenses of the Company. The Company notified PwC in writing of the change on September 27, 2012 and an engagement with Moss Adams LLP ("Moss Adams") was approved by the Audit Committee on September 28, 2012.

The reports of PwC on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except that PwC's reports for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 included an explanatory paragraph noting that there was substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and through September 27, 2012, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and
(ii) no "reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided PwC with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that PwC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PwC agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated October 2, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

(b) On September 28, 2012, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Moss Adams at an expected annual cost savings beneficial to shareholders to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and through September 27, 2012, the Company has not consulted with Moss Adams regarding either (i) 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 Company's consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Moss Adams concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K), or a "reportable event" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).



Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.

16.1 Letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 2, 2012.
