Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On September 16, 2005 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Pac-West Telecomm, Inc.
(Pac-West) accepted the resignation of BDO Seidman, LLP (BDO) as Pac-Wests independent
accountants, and approved the engagement of Macias Gini &
Company LLP (MGC), an independent member of the BDO Seidman Alliance, as
Pac-Wests independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2005. BDOs
decision to resign was made cooperatively with the Company following discussions regarding the
future relationship between BDO and Pac-West.
BDOs report on Pac-Wests consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004
did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. BDO was engaged as Pac-Wests independent
accountants on August 14, 2004 and therefore did not audit Pac-Wests consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.
During the year ended December 31, 2004 and through the date hereof, there were no disagreements
with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to BDOs satisfaction, would have caused it to
make reference to the subject matter in connection with its report on Pac-Wests consolidated
financial statements for such periods. There were no reportable events as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Pac-West has provided BDO with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A letter from BDO addressed to
the Securities and Exchange Commission in response to the disclosures set forth herein is included
as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and through the date hereof,
Pac-West did not consult MGC 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 Pac-Wests consolidated financial statements, or any other matter that was either the
subject of a disagreement or reportable event as set forth in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
