Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant On October 1, 2009, Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. ("the Company") received notice that its current auditors, Rotenberg and Co. LLP, had resigned in connection with their merger with EFP Group. The Company has engaged the new firm resulting from the merger, EFP Rotenberg, LLP, to continue as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. All of the partners and employees of Rotenberg and Co. LLP and EFP Group have joined the new firm, EFP Rotenberg, LLP. The reports of Rotenberg and Co. LLP as of and for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the subsequent interim period preceding the resignation of Rotenberg and Co. LLP did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or were qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the resignation of Rotenberg and Co. LLP, there were no disagreements with Rotenberg and Co. LLP 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 Rotenberg would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports. On October 13, 2009, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, EFP Rotenberg, LLP was engaged as the Company's independent registered public accountant effective concurrent with the merger. Prior to such engagement, during the two most recent fiscal years, the Company has not consulted with EFP Rotenberg, LLP on any matter. The Company provided Rotenberg and Co. LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and requested that Rotenberg and Co. LLP furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 16.1 herewith.

LLP to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
