Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a) At its board meeting on September 2, 1999, the Board of Directors of
Citizens First Corporation (the "Registrant") dismissed KPMG LLP as its
independent accountant. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and
through the interim period ending June 30, 1999, (i) the reports of KPMG LLP on
the financial statements of the Registrant for the past two years contained no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles and (ii) there have been no
disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
The Registrant has requested that KPMG LLP furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not KPMG
LLP agrees with the statements made by the Registrant in this Report. The
Registrant delivered a copy of this Form 8-K Report to KPMG LLP on September 9,
1999. The Registrant will file by amendment, as an exhibit to this Form 8-K
Report, a copy of such letter when it is received.
(b) On September 2, 1999, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of
Baird, Kurtz & Dobson as the independent public accountants to audit the
Registrant's financial statements.
