Dear Shareholders:
You received a proxy from the Company dated February 7, 2013. One of the proposals included in that proxy was to ratify the appointment of Crowe Horwath LLP (“Crowe”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2013. On February 6, 2013, Crowe provided the Company with notice of its intent to resign as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and its resignation was effective on February 14, 2013 when it completed its review of our first quarter of fiscal 2013. As a result, the Board of Directors now recommends a vote AGAINST Crowe’s ratification as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2013. As of February 22, 2013, the Company has engaged McGladrey LLP as its new registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2013 and has filed a form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On behalf of all of us at BASi, I thank you—the shareholders—for your trust and support as we at BASi work as one link in the chain to improve the quality of human life. We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting on March 14, 2013.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline M. Lemke
President, Chief Executive Officer
Chief Financial Officer and Vice President-Finance
