Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
     (a) Previous Independent Accountants.
     Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) was previously the principal accountants for Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Company”). On September 24, 2008, the Company dismissed Deloitte as its principal accountants. The Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent accountants.
     Deloitte’s audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2008 and April 1, 2007 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
     In connection with Deloitte’s audits for the two fiscal years ended March 30, 2008 and April 1, 2007 and the subsequent interim period through September 24, 2008, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Financial Statements. Additionally, during the two most recent fiscal years and through September 24, 2008, there have been no reportable events, as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Registration S-K.
     The Company has requested that Deloitte furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated September 29, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
     (b) New Independent Accountants.
     On September 24, 2008, the Company engaged KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s new independent accountants to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 29, 2009. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s engagement of KPMG.
     During the two most recent fiscal years and through September 24, 2008, the Company has not consulted with KPMG regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
