Item 4.01      Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
On December 30, 2009, Reliability Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors of the Company by mutual consent had terminated the appointment of Schumacher & Associates, Inc (“Schumacher”) as independent certifying accountants of the Company, and appointed the firm of Ramirez International Financial & Accounting Services, Inc. (“Ramirez International”) as the new independent certifying accountants of the Company.   In response to a February 22, 2010 Staff comment letter, this Form 8-K/A is being filed to upgrade the Company’s prior disclosure.
 
The Company stated in its December 30, 2009 Form 8-K that, during its two most recently completed fiscal quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2009 and through the termination date of December 30, 2009, there was a single disagreement with Schumacher  relating to whether the Company should be filing as a development stage company.


Schumacher believed that the Company may be a development stage company and suggested contacting the  SEC for guidance. .  If this method had been followed, the effect on the financial statements would be the presentation of   cumulative balances from the date the Company would have become a development stage Company and footnote disclosure .    The issue arose during the Company’s third quarter, the period ended September 30, 2009. The Company became a shell when it sold its then primary business in 2008. The Company had concluded, in its Form 10 -K disclosure for the period ended December 31, 2008 that, “... it should sell the Company or identify a merger partner. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in completing such a transaction or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow it to carry out this action, in which case the Company might be forced to dissolve or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both...” Based on these circumstances and FASB pronouncements (as well as the advice of an outside consultant), the Board of Directors believed and continues to believe the Company is not a development stage company and no additional disclosures are necessary.

With respect to the above disagreement, the Board of Directors discussed the subject matter of the disagreement with the former accountants Schumacher and authorized them to respond fully to the inquires of the successor accountants concerning the subject matter of the disagreement.

The disagreement was considered by the Company’s Board of Directors and, as part of that consideration, provided Schumacher with a copy of this amended disclosure and requested that it furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such updated letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
