ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
 
On November 10, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (“IMSI) was notified that its independent registered accounting firm Grant Thornton LLP, resigned effective November 11, 2004.
 
The reports issued by Grant Thornton LLP on IMSI's financial statements for both of the two most recent fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or any qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During IMSI's two most recent fiscal years and through November 11, 2004, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton LLP, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
 
IMSI is in the process of identifying and retaining a new independent registered accounting firm to audit its financial statements.
 
As required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, IMSI has furnished Grant Thornton LLP with the disclosures contained in this Item 4 and requested that Grant Thornton LLP furnish IMSI with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the statements made by IMSI in this Item 4. A copy of Grant Thornton LLP’s letter dated November 11, 2004 is included as Exhibit 16 hereto.
